    I like the firewall all pre drilled! Saves lots of drilling in stainless.

    Hey Harlan,

    How long was the lead time on your Oratex order? I’m just looking ahead and the number of “todo” pages in my book is getting thinner and thinner.

    Thanks!
    Dan

    Dan I believe they told me 6 weeks but it took 4.
    Good feeling when the todo list shortens up! Harlan

    Default Fuel lines are ran!

    Thanks to all who gave advice its really appreciated.
    I will change out the 90 in the second photo to a straight fitting and finish the hookup and tie things down to finish.

    Last Friday was the end of 36 years of public service. I retired from being Highway Commissioner for 36 years, started when I was 22 years of age. I have enjoyed maintaining roads and for the most part dealing with the public, most people are still good no matter what the news shows. I look forward to continuing farming and working on/flying a Kitfox as long as the Lord allows.

    Now on the plane, we hung the engine and it didn't tip over forward, this is a good thing? Haha
