thanks guys!

LOL not to many Frank!

combat is looking good in West Texas, I trained a good friend of mine (Luis) to fly about 3 months ago with his 40 size trainer, he put the trainer aside and has been flying a .40 48" inch low wing little hotrod, his already solo for about 5 weeks, he picked it up purty fast and already has a b2 Avenger set up with a magnum xl .28 with a can and pipe his ready for some practice.[;)]
Bruce and I are gonna start promoting ssc kits here locally (Midland and the Odessa Clubs), hopefully ill pick up in West Texas.

I used to use some wood shims for the engine stick, but I created a separate file to make a center section that is flat bottom and is straight to the airstream, it doesn't seem to bend the engine stick when you rubberband this way, I like this much better than the shims.

I'll be printing some 24"x36" posters tonight to post in the Odessa and Midland clubs for a little Local advertisement, this is the design I'm printing.
Theres a saying in Spanish.."I think I put to much cream in my tacos" ..or something like that, LOL[:p]

I'll need to run a spell check on the design.
