He helped all of us.
Though I never had opportunity to meet him, I feel I knew him through his contributions to this site. I, too, will miss him.

No Expert
Todd,
I'm no expert on the gear, but I know you can extend/retract the gear using the hand pump instead of a mule. This may slow down the operation so you can see exactly what is going on.

Herb,
The fuel tank bays look good. Glad it worked out! I do like Dave's idea of priming them though.

Transportation
Last time I was in New Orleans, we used the streetcar for all transportation. Prices were very reasonable.

Why don't you try printing out this thread and sharing it with your supplier? Maybe they will realize how far they are out of line and return some of your money.
