"Hitler Channel" Ha! I thought my wife and I were the only ones who said
that. Same thing happened here when they (cox) upgraded our system (for a
while). We found History, TLC, Discover hidden in the mid 20's somewhere, I
seem to remember.


Well Cox is supposedly coming today to "fix" things. Hopefully the channels
above 13 will start working again. I'm really itching to see Discovery Wings (we
didn't have it on the analog service).

How's the plane coming, Ron? I haven't heard from you and Margy since I
left the local email list (and I often fall so far behind here that I just
"catch up" and start over).


They're just about ready to put the wings back on. We decided to have the thing
painted while we were at it so they stripped the wings and repainted the wheel wells
and the gear legs while it was easier to do with the wings not connected. They've
zinc chromated evertyhing internal they can get to repaired a couple of fuel tank
leaks, replaced one of the aileron cables (frayed), and some broken cable fairleads.
Once you get the plane into this many pieces you got a lot of "you might as wells."
Not big ticket items, but they add up.

They've put the STC engine baffling on the engine (removing the Bonana baffles)
and they're just about ready to hang the new engine mount.
