Hey Jarrett, I see you’re in Weyburn.  You may know some of my LaBatte relatives.  We had a family reunion in Weyburn a few years ago and I tried to fly up for several days but the weather never cooperated.  Maybe next time…

Bryan, your saying you've got all the misc parts that fit w/ the housing?  Intake?  At this point it's all preliminary so, while it's good to know I have access to parts, it's too early to start sending them.

I've got to get the job thing figured out and nailed down..  :) Then I'll be ready to hit the ground running. I've been offered a full time flying job that requires my flying a limited number of days per year.  This would mean I quit my current full time job as an industrial designer working in  a fab shop. I've been there 10+ years and designed everything from huge pipe cuttings saws to biological waste disposal equipment [and everything in between]. However, having been there 10 yrs there will require a bit of a transition as I currently wear several hats [manage several departments]!

Best Regards
