Another snag we found on run-up was with a couple of the instruments.Better to do it now because once they finishing setting the airplane up for for its dry rig,we will all have to keep away and let the riggers do their job.They get very upset if we knock something out of alignment,can't say that I blame them.

We have had numerous complaints from the pilots about the placement of the water radiator on the upper wing center section.If it leaks or gets shot with bullets ,it rains hot water . I wish that there was a mod for this but so far nothing.

My Buds.

What a great group of guys they are ! The French military has taken over this old barn for use as a training facility to give us newcomers an engine conversion course on the Gnome engine.We are based here somewhere in France, they will only censor it out if I say where. I sure hope that they find us a better spot come wintertime. For now we are stuck here in this drafty old barn.
