Call me clairvoyant, call me optimistic, call me inaccurate: I was right when I closed our June update with "we'll probably be outside two months before flying again." Here we sit in mid-November, and our engine is still with Robert Abernathy in Beech Island, South Carolina, being rebuilt.
Robert had other engines in line before we got ours up to him, and we have had delays in getting some of the parts we wanted, but we are now underway with our "freshening up." The block and heads are fine, but we are reworking the cylinders and had to go to the next size pistons, and that has slowed things down.
