yes steve, got it back last sunday 9/22 . a young friend of mine that is building time and also an a&p with lots of tail wheel time went out and picked it up for me. I still plan to complete the trip to homedale, it has been eating at me as an unfinished project. I am planning to go to homedale the first of next month with bill sansone to pick up his kit but we will drive and tow a trailer so that trip doesn't count.
