REFLECTOR: airplane open house

[doug.holub at tx.rr.com]

Oops. Sorry, Alex. I thought I had attached the invitation, and I haven't been back to my computer until now. We had a great time today. About 50 people stopped by and chatted about the airplane. Our local newspaper sent a reporter and a photographer. Attached are a couple of pictures, not very good ones of the plane, though. 

I think I'll be moving it to the Grand Prarie airport this week. I've still got engine baffles to fabricate and install, and I need to hook up my fuel and oil lines. I'm going to try to get those done this week and then move the airplane to the airport. 

You must be getting close to flying, aren't you?
