The F-4 retracts are working, kind of!

I worked on the F-4 all day, once when I went in Vera had made cocoa mounds, those and potato chips turned into my lunch.  About noon I took a break and we went for a walk, maybe I walked off one of those cocoa mounds.  I got the F-4's canopy hold downs all installed and working.  Then I started on the retracts, I got the retract control valve mounted and everything hooked up.  I pumped the system up and cycled it about 10 times and it worked great.  Just as I headed in for the night, I noticed the main gear was down and the nose gear was retracted.  It looks like I have to switch a couple of air lines tomorrow.  I got a few flights in with the little helicopter today, it is sure fun.  This was another day without a picture, so I went looking and found this one from August 1999 of the kids building a fort or something behind the Dolan's garage.  That is a big hammer James has, I am not sure what Macee and Emmy are doing and Ainsley looks pretty busy in the box.
