Always good to hear from you, Don. Having to do maintenance is a great thing! When I was resurrecting my last airplane, I remember often thinking I couldn't wait to have to do routine maintenance on it because it meant it was up and running and now all I had to do was wear it out. It's the same with our half-tracks! I hope you guys have a great Christmas and new year.    Jon

Still need a throttle cable and a Tach cable.
Don G
Hey Don,
  Paul has the throttle cables.  Jon Jennings is out of tach cables and is gone for a year.  If you find a source, let me know as I need one too.  Come to find out, my "NOS tach cable" isn't actually for a halftrack.... >:(
