Fixup

With that accomplished, I got in the cockpit and attempted to start the engine. It started right off. "First Time, Every Time"! It's maiden voyage was Saturday, May 23, 1998. I took in to town to fill the tank and caused quite a stir! People are all smiles as they wonder what it is. Typical question: Does it fly? Now I've got it running. Next: more visibility, which means more lights.

I put two bright halogens on the wings - er, outrigger wheels and modified the lighting so that the original rear lights now function as tail lights and turning lights. I added two red laser lights just beneath the tail lights to function as bright brake lights. Dan had also provided the laser lights that he had placed in the tail section. I installed them and attached them to the brake lights also.
