    Never mind reversing cameras etc, Josh is going to need one of these:

    Very thoughtful Paul, but maybe a little bit of overkill ...especially given that Josh is very tall. Maybe this mounted on the roof would do the trick?

    cheers

    It does double as a recliner! I need to order some 35s to keep the stance!

    Good idea Ross. Maybe I need to use that on the turtle deck for a third seat!

    One more step completed today. I started the engine for the first time. My two teenage boys manned the fire extinguisher on either wing tip. Rough run for about 3 secs. 2nd try ran well. Time for a hangar. I have officially finished with the construction of parts as of today when I mounted the wing root cuffs. I need to get to a hangar so I can lift the gear and replace the tires and install the shims on the axels.

    Yay Eddie. You'll be putting all that stuff you learned at S&R to good use very soon. Go well.
