    Murle Williams was finishing up my conditional inspection when he pointed at the turtledeck and said you know those two pieces of sheetmetal are reversed. Holy crap, 333 hours on her and somebody finally noticed. Twenty-four rivets later things are now as they should be. It should be noted that I DID NOT build the plane.
    Who else has theirs on reversed left to right and right to left?

    Before and after:

    I installed a Safety Trim system to slow down the trim during cruise.

    The Mangy Fox got her condition inspection finished up today. She got her brake master cylinders rebuilt (OEM from 1997). She got her little ski wheels put on, too.

    Hopefully I will find some time to fly her now...

    Had to completely re-do the nostrils on cowling. Cylinder 1 running hot in climb. Took way too long!

    Still working on making it easier for the Bernoullis to get around the shocks.

    looks great! Would love to see final look, may have to do the same to mine! May look a bit like Mike Patsy’s Scrappy gear “winds”!
