"usraptr" = United States raptor - bird of prey = United States Bald Eagle.  FYI, somebody else thought of it first so I had to drop the "O" in raptor.

Seems like it eh? No this project was actually started back in Sept of 2011 and now is coming close to the finish line.

Seemed like a long road while traveling it but now it's basically done looking back it flew by.  :stirpot:

Well folks it's time to finish her up when she gets to Cali.

Does anyone have a template for mounting the go wing on the rear deck? Or at least a pointer to one.

Thanks in advance,
B
