The upholster now has a pattern for anyone wanting custom made seats for the same price as the factory kit. My total was $600+ materials.

Rec'd cylinder heads a few days ago, but from Azalea Aviation in Ga. Mine are still in Wisconsin. Heads look super good. Excellent work done on them, and it didn't take a year.

Trying to answer you back third time maybe this time I have it.
Quick update. The runway is now closing from the 10th to the 17th of September.
Try to get some practice time in before you come back. I have found the STOL wing very hard to land in cross wind of over 10 MH. Find a 150 or 172 and do cross wind landings without flaps and do short emergency landings!!!
