Think we need to start another thread that we can all watch and enjoy. I put out the idea of maybe one for Texas Raider.............or maybe there can be one called "What Gary is up to today?"

Good idea...I think Col. Mosquito deserves his own "sticky" thread for all the moral support he gave during the Diamond Lil transformation. :wink:

Well, unless something breaks and I have to go out on the road to fix it, I'm done with the B-24 for a month or so. I'm just going to tinker with the little racer for a bit and get it ready for Reno. I'm sure I'll keep y'all posted on any news that may develop though. :wink:

I imagine the next thread we see Gary and his talents star in will be when the work finally begins on FiFi.

Even better - the catch all title could be "Gary's Got Talent" and it would showcase several aircraft projects! :D

So Gary -- Did Dusty come with the "racier" motor, or will you run the one you had at PRS?

The thing I was wondering about is, are you gonna keep it in that scheme, or put some leftover OD paint and slap a couple stars on it? :wink:

Gary;
We'll have to get together at Reno for a cold frosty beverage, And I can put you in touch with my friend who has those B-29 brakes we talked about a while back. He has a hangar there in Reno.
