YES.
July issue has closed (will mail about mid-month), so it will be for the October issue. Would be nice to have current pics, then an update in late September to show progress.
Thanks,

Dave,
Several of us at Clemson are considering a run to Moontown in August. I think there is a flyin there. Do you know anything about the moon town strip and is it close to you? I would like to see your progress and of course show off 91B. Right now the covering is ok but I may have to think about it some time in the future and would like to get some pointers, suggestions and advice.
Regards
David Leigh

Moontown is an excellent Grass Strip Airport. Nice people, local EAA Chapter (190?), good fuel prices. East-West runway. When taxiing, make sure to avoid the ditch between the runway and the parking area.
Moontown is about 10 miles from my house. I would be glad to meet y'all and provide ground transportation

Julie Boatman did a nice article on Moontown in a recent issue of AOPA Pilot. Yeah, AOPA Pilot has alway been akin to Buying (Flying) magazine until the last year or so. Ignore the articles on biz jets, the restoration of this year's Win Me airplane, fifty grand glass panels and so forth, and you'll also find some marvelous articles on the often wholly ignored subject of why flying transcends the world of the humans living in two dimensions. Alton Marsh writes occasional reports on classics (including Russell Williams' Airmaster).
Yeah, Phil Boyer has a bad comb-over and looks silly on CNN. They made the mistake of having Barry Shiff write a pilot report on a Bird and all he did was whine at the fact you need to get grease on you during the preflight (the Bird was born in the era prior to internal engine lubrication of rockers and valves, thus you applied grease manually prior to each flight which, naturally, splatters all over the place during flight).
Seriously, AOPA Pilot is at its best right now. Lots of new writers too, compared to Sport Aviation's stable of often stale regulars, and those endless messages from the EAA prez that fill countless paragraphs and say nothing.
Sorry....I do go on

Fuselage fabric work is going OK. Having some trouble around the handhold you make out of the fuselage tubing over the right rear window. Also having trouble gauging the amount of "sweep" needed for the vertical fin to fuselage transition. As far as I can tell, the vertical fin is only glued/ laced onto the top three ribs?
