Welcome to our wee club for the skinny birds, Bobby!
I see you brought Clint Murphy's girl home to join your flock.
Do you still have your LACO biplane? How does she fly? I was mesmerized by the design since the prototype first flew in the late 70s. There was an article in Sport Aviation about her.
You'll find lots of good information here, if you snoop around in the Forum and Blogs sections. Even the photos and videos have info you may find useful or entertaining.
I hope you and li'l #703 get along well. No, you never will get used to sitting a foot away from the panel until you're about ready to begin the take off roll.
It would be great if you wrote up any adventures you and #703 have, to get the rest of the membership enthused and back to restoring their projects!
Soft landings, Andy
