Seeing on how things go, and if there is anyone down there, I might have to have a little Stinson time tomorrow.

Well, didn't make it... and probably not tomorrow. Still sitting up listening to ABC radio news about the fires down home.

I got suckered in by a spot special on the Corsair and I tell you, it is a bucket.
The fuse is so soft, the tiniest amount of down pressure on the tail plane flexes it so far the hatch (whole top of the fuse) clears it's locking dowel and just falls off (in your hand) and speaking of the top of the fuse, it was a good 20mm narrower than the bottom half. I had to soak it in hot water and squish out the radius to make it span the bottom half, then pack the front edge than keys under the cowl with foam tape to make it hold down by reclaiming the height lost in widening it.
Complete p.o.s.....
