Hi baz57uk,
I am getting pretty far along. You prompted me to add another journal entry. I just finished posting it. Thanks for the nudge.
I am waiting for my motor to arrive, and looking at adapter plate options. Still on budget, and perhaps a little behind schedule.Posted 03-03-2012 at 01:29 PM by AviatorBJP
