Hi Charlie,
1. Actually, most of the RV-4 is under the workbench (only the tail is complete and I bought that from someone else! But the rotary engine mount is built).
2. The miniMax is hanging from the ceiling.
3. My '89 Mustang is on jack stands and the motor is disassembled.
4. The Mustang also needs some body work to flare the fenders.
5. The C150 has the cowling off and is awaiting safety wire on the prop bolts.
6. The C150 desparately needs paint (but flys great).
Now you know why Ed implies that I will NEVER get the RV-4 built. I concede that I may be retired before I get back to work on the RV-4 or miniMax. The good news is that the tractor (1964 Ford 4000) is running good and doesn't seem to need any more work - but old tractors ALWAYS need more work!!!). The house is almost finished. Diane bought a new car so I don't have to work on her old car anymore. I bet I'm not the only one who lives like this. This state in life is mostly due to years of obscene hours at work. Sounds pretty much like your life too???
