Congrats!!!!! That's one sweet ride! John is a great guy.

Thanks Hockeystud. You're right, John is a great guy, and that is a "sweet ride."

I'm happy to hear "John's" airplane will go to a loving home.

Have to change your handle to "Big Bart" now...

[Bartman1959]

Since "Big John" is about a head taller than me, I think I'll stick with "Bartman."

Congrats on you new purchase.

I too recently relocated to Caldwell and look forward to meeting you one of these days. Hopefully at an EAA Chapter meeting.

My Model 3 made it to town in the back of a U-Haul truck and currently resides in a storage unit near Caldwell Airport. Working on putting it back together.

That is absolutely awesome. You know I had to save that to my computer. Thanks!

Thanks, I appreciate that.


I plan to make it to the first EAA chapter meeting that I can. If the September meeting is next week, I may be able to make that one.


Are you able to work on your Model 3 in your storage unit?


Thanks again. I look forward to meeting you and checking out your Model 3.

Are you able to work on your Model 3 in your storage unit?

Yes, not easy... no power and need to be aware of not blocking anyone else. My wife and I put the wings back on last Saturday. Used a drywall jack from Harbor Freight to help her hold the wing up while I fitted the spars.

Yeah, I can imagine that's not easy. At least you have your wife helping instead of doing it all on your own. It looks like I'm going to have to build a trailer for my KF 5, and keep it in my garage and trailer back and forth between home and the airport until I can find hanger space.

EAA 103 meets on the second Thursday each month and yes, we are meeting next week. We are in the Shep-Rock hanger at Nampa, which is at 121 Municipal Drive. The hanger is shared by CAP and EAA.

I will be out of town for that meeting so I won't be able to meet you guys.

The official meeting starts at 7:00 pm. Come around 6:30 because we have been getting food and it is a great chance to get to know people.
