If I missed anyone, please Pipe Up!   

Folks, it’s been a hard, miserable year for most all of us, but I hope this brought even the tiniest bit of good cheer to all the faithful here.  
Blessings in 2025 from North Texas, and let’s all build and be merry!

Fantastic!  Looks like Hubert and myself are starting to be besties.  He won my Rodent Stearman last year. LOL!

That’s hilarious.  I usually end up sending to Telepatu, Fran, Carl or Gus.  Hehehe.

I never get someone, say, across the County. 

[Clunkmeister]

Fact is, I love doing this.

These last few months, life has truly sucked for me and my world.   I’ve been scarce around here, and for that, I apologize, but life comes first.  My wife has a few health issues, as have I, but we’re through it, and all’s good.  I’d go into my back shop and form some sheet aluminum for my Starduster, and doing a little welding on some 4130 chromoly steel tubing for tabs to hold the aluminum sheeting around the cockpit.  The previous setup was set up for fabric covering, but that left no access for regular maintenance unless you were willing to go headfirst into the cockpits.  
 

So that was my therapy.  
I hope the raffle worked well for all who participated, and hopefully, next year, we’ll all be in a better place financially.

Fantastic, I won two kits ! 
 

Thank you all for your generosity and a special Thank You to Ernie for organising the raffle and his generous gift of the A-20 ( which goes to me, ho ho ho )

Scott, PM sent already.

Gus, I have been bus- lazy recently and not took the time the write the full stash list. I sent you a PM with indications so that you can steer me to your preferred kit.
