Quiet on line as with most summer months. I am looking forward to increased activity with the fall upon us.

Well done on the Mark V.

Still pushing on with Macchi.

Putting an engine together and procrastinating as to how to finish her off.

Cheers

I guess I parted with all my carving tools, wood, patterns a bit too soon. The treatment I've being taking for my CIDP seems to be working to an extent.There is no cure for this but I guess i have a reprieve for now.

I'm still in a wheelchair, but my hands are nearly back to normal and I can 
stand up, just can't walk. I still have a CL84 Dynavert and a Sikorsky R4 to work on (but no workshop)

We've moved to a townhouse with open concept so I can scoot around. As soon as I get stair chair I'll be able to go to the basement and finish these two. After that I'll just have to see!

Cheers, Pete

Great to hear from you Peter.
Hope all goes well with the stair climber.
Looking forward to the R4.
