    Jumpugly,
    It's always good to have a project on the bench waiting on you. I have too many it seems!
    I like the D7, I used to fly one of those. Nice job on the lozenge design!

    Wow on the outboard, I haven't seen one of those in a long time.
    In a large box in one of my storage cabinets I have quite a few
    airplane engines. I should dig them out sometime and see if
    they will still run.
    The only problem I have with them is they are noisy!

    Springers are fun little boats. Throw something in the pond and push it around and play with it. I have a string of ducks that sometimes follow me around. Kids love it.

    That is simply outstanding workmanship. It just looks right, not overdone in any way.
    Did you make the traps out of 1/4 inch hardware cloth?

    I love to repurpose things. That was a good find and
    will work well.
    I don't know if you have used it before but the 3/8 inch wide sponge type weather seal has
    a sticky back that sticks to the wood well. It will protect the boats bottom from scratching.

    Beautiful build.
    With a low freeboard I would be afraid to put it in the water even if it was calm!
    If I did I would have "NO WAKE" signs everywhere.

    Neil,
    I did a burn out with my fumble fingers some years ago. It was an expensive lesson for me.
    Since then I am very careful about my initial wiring.
    The worse thing that can happen is not being able to figure out what the problem was.
    I feel your pain!
