Spit IX MJ730 update...

I went out to the Fighter Factory yesterday to chat with Don about what they'll be having me do, as I've signed on for a cockpit detailing/restoration position... the Spit is fully stripped and just about ready to go back together, the port wing is done and enroute, and she'll be refinished soon. In the interim, I have *GOT* to get my hands on a digital camera while she's all apart... I'll be cleaning and touching up the interior once I get out there, and am definitely looking forward to it!
Their FG-1D is just about ready for the final exterior coat, she's mechanically fully done now and they've been flight-testing her extensively. And I found out how big the Polikarpov I-15bis is; somehow, I was surprised at that thing! Don replied that it's still pretty light for 1000hp, which I really can't argue with. :)
Thought you guys might like to know.
