That's a nice clean panel you have there. I see you have brakes on both sides too, thats always a plus on Stinsons.

Excellent job. Nice and clean. Its a great feeling doing your own work. The dash is easy to read and nicely laid out. You will enjoy that first flight. Keep up the great work...

Haha! This just worked out better for me at the time rather than transporting it, storing it, and not getting back to work on it for many months.

Yes I'm sure that would have been a pain. Hopefully you can get something to replace it out in Washington.

That was quick! Hope it works out for the better. I know that must have been a tough decision. But on the bright side, no hassles and you'll get to fly some really cool Cub's :D

I think it is for the best, very bittersweet. I'm happy I didn't take a loss though, makes it easier to accept.

I have been flying Stinsons for over 25 years. Great find on a excellent air plane. I have extra wing tips. How are the spars? Hope you get it in the air soon. Happy flying... Ken in Alaska
