4) where is your project Isak?

Alas, no more project. While in Viet Nam I was sprayed by the Dioxin
they used as a defoliant(Agent Orange). I even saw them spraying and
asked about it. "Oh, you don't need to worry about That". Now, after all
these years, I've been diagnosed with stage four Lymphoma related to the
spraying. It's somewhat treatable but incurable. It will kill me if the
chemo doesn't. Other then the end results, the cancer symptoms aren't
bad. The results of the chemo are hellish. Two years ago I had little
sense of balance, I would fall down just walking down the street. Can
you imagine trying to fly an airplane without a sense of balance? I
don't fly any more. I can't even self certify. Losing your ability to
fly is just as horrible as you always thought it was.

If I can't fly it, I won't built it. Thus no project.

Copy that, Richard.

We had 4 UH1H "Ranch Hands" visit our flight line for a couple of weeks.
They all leaked orange puddles.
But they said to stay away from it - and we did.

I've had a bladder tumor rupture (cost me my medical), my first and
only (please!) menstrual cycle. Gave me a how ne respect for what 13
year old girls go through. But no lymphoma.

Still, I'm itching to build that cute little cabin job (VeeWee Coupe).
It won't come in as a legal ultralight, I know. But I think it can
get it in at about 310-320 maybe. I might just built it anyway.
It would be something fun to do.
