Test run.

I drove the El Camino around a bit and it runs a lot better when it's cold than it did. I examined the new distributor and found the vacuum pot has a very strong spring as does the mechanical advance weights. It will be the new spare.
I started stripping the Pathfinder yesterday. I had cored the profile fuselage and that needs a lot of work to get it ready. I glued a strip of 1/32 ply to the inside of the frame work top and bottom to stiffen it. The covering from tower should be in today.
The new bearings for the glider chair came in yesterday and I r&r the bad one. The bearings are real ball bearings, sealed, and a lot larger than I thought. There is a total of eight on each chair. I'm surprised one failed.
