Landed right around 9am, taxied across the bridge, talked to the marshals about reserving the row up against the ditch for Sonexes. Told him there might be a Zenith, too. Fly safe! See you all soon.

I am in the middle of installing the swingback on my Xenos A project. Just finishing up a mechanism I came up with for a keyed camloc on the exterior for locking it c...
