Catsfive, the STOL would be perfect for the farm but nothing so great. It's a Szaraz SDS that has actually been built before by my friend's grandfather. He was a Vietnam vet who flew recon and loved just hanging out in the air for hours. After he passed it passed to my buddy who cleared out the shop and dug it out. The fabric was mostly (? lots of patches, parts like rudders and ailerons need touching up) gone due to mice and the usual barn rot but everything else we were able to refurb. The engine was already removed long ago by granddad intended for rebuild so he just shipped it out and it's on its way back beginning around Feb we think. I'm a welder and the Daphne is actually made of welded steel tubing which survived pretty good. I'm basically drinking beers and doping with a brush, but my buddy located this old retired restoration expert from a club and the plywood spars that didn't pass inspection I think they're getting redone from this new type of synthetic plywood. It'll be cool to see this thing in the air again. Merry Christmas!

OK I'll bite. I got nothing, asked for nothing, but still got basically the best thing ever. My wife has been estranged from her family ever since Covid hit. They wouldn't even talk to her over her stance not to get the shot. So they reached out to her and that's where she's been all day. She texted me that she's having such a blessed time that she promises to "be mine all day" on New Year's lol so how can a guy refuse that. I've had her to myself the last three christmases and I know how important this is to her. God is good and I can't wait for her report tomorrow morning. She's a breakfast champion (good cook) so I'll get the lowdown tomorrow around noon.

Meanwhile me I'm over at my buddy's house, he's home-building an airplane and we've been drinking beer and "doping" the fabric. We dry it under box fans and then reapply. Lots of time to drink and chill

Merry Christmas, frogs!

u/CatsFive has gotten me into this stuff. If you want to go down the rabbit hole (way WAY better than the Rabbi hole) check out channels on YT like UnchartedX and History for Granite, and watch all the Graham Hancock / Brien Foerster / Randal Carlson stuff (on Rogan) that you can

Cats doesn't like Brien because he starved him out on a really bad tour, but I still like his videos

This looks easy to make. I have to go in to the shop today for a couple hours and why not blow an extra few quick minutes making this and put it up. I wonder ho long it'll take for the other guys to notice LOLLLL

Wow, tell us how you really feel, u/CatsFive! haha. It's good that we're led by someone as passionate as this, that's all I have to say.

Hang on a second, is Commander the one that Biden said caused him to twist his ankle because he pulled the dog's tail? Or was that the mutt before him. So many Biden gaffes, too hard to keep track of them all

Giving this a try. It deletes a lot of content on PDW but I like what you did with the toggle. I can always turn it off if I'm looking for something. Thanks for this!

I saw that. It was almost down to his knees. Well not really, but easily down to his zipper. He also looked a but extra -orange- to me.
