Tom,
I haven't heard from you in a loooooong time.  How's your ES.  Last I
heard it was down for a new gearbox.  Will you be attending the Lancair
fly-in in Fredricksburg, TX this year?  Fredericksburg is within my 100
mile radius, so I should be attending, even if I'm still in the 40 hour
test period.  I would love to see your installation and ask you a few
questions.

Mark


Mark,

The good news is that my ES just came out of the paint shop.  I'll forward a
photo when I get the plane back together (flight controls, fairings, etc.
were painted separately).

I've got a few mechanical details to clean up.  The exhaust manifold flange
is warped slightly, and must be ground flat.  I tried to fill the gap with
red RTV, but no luck.  It is pretty noisy.  Then I've got some duct work in
the engine compartment, and a condition inspection to do.  So, no, I'm
afraid I won't be at Fredericksburg.  I'll probably be stretching it to make
CopperState in late October.
