Been playin' in the dirt.

Thought others may be interested.  Helping hand.  I wondered how I was going to hold this and put it together when I had the epiphany to plunk the stem in a ball of tac and glue everything together.  Don't know why I hadn't thought of this earlier.  It certainly would have eliminated many an assembly from springing from my tweezer into the ozone.

Shady side 1.  Propeller Governor Control System.  Note angle of rod.  I'll get to that problem when I show the sunny side.

Shady side 2.  The same.

Looks good from here.  Drilled thru and enhanced other fastener locations.

Put the engine in and it and the intercooler pump competed for space, so I put in a new one with a sharper angle only to botch the connection.  What a drag.  It was going so well, too.  Back to the drawing board.

Time for errands and chores.

Thank you for looking in.

Sincerely,
