Game Cancelled!

I got the second aileron mount covered first thing this morning while Vera was at bible study.  I looked at the ferns, I thought for a couple of minutes about cutting some more back, but talked myself out of it. It was a good thing too, it started raining not too long after that.  James had a baseball game scheduled for today, we left early because I had some papers to sign at the credit union for the RC club.  Just after I got done and we were headed toward the field, James texted me that the game was cancelled, so we headed home.  I moved the RV-9 out to the shop so I could start hinging the controls and install the motor and cowl.  The first motor I installed (the black one) was too long, the red one's prop adapter was too big for the spinner and it may have been too long also.  The motor that is torn apart looked like it would work, but I had to reverse the shaft but when I got it apart, I found a magnet loose.  It is in the upper right of the corner of the picture, I discovered while repairing it that J-B Weld is magnetic! While I was waiting on the J-B Weld, I dug around in the drawer and found a motor that looks like it will be perfect just the way it is.  I did a little grinding on the cowl and it is all ready to be mounted.
I had enough of the RV-9 by then, so I got out what may be the next project and started bracing the landing gear mount, it would never have stood up to our grass runways.  Vera made the best biscuits and gravy for dinner, I was in here on the computer and those biscuits smelled so good, she only had to mention it was ready once!
