That is for setting up Phantom and for spectators only - trust me, I rarely even glance at it .

Sweeeeeeeeeet. There is a good reason I haven't visited the Man Cave again.....It would be a black hole from which I would never return.......The best I could hope for was sitting in the unfinished product in the Man Cave Garage before last March's Luke AFB show.

Local pick up only, but its Kendall, FL which is right around my home town area :)

Too bad I have no truck to haul it up here. I'd have to see pictures of the described crack b/f bidding on it, but a $50 starting bid ain't bad.

Made a little progress on the right auxiliary today - finally got the real compass in, and the clock and cabin pressure are in. Still need to change the gauge faces on the EPU fuel and liquid Ox, and find real hyd pressure and fuel gauges.
I also got my hands on an ejection handle :D 8)

Looking great man, it's really coming along.

Shame you had to 'eject' that guy to get the handle though :wink:
