    Thanks guys. Its taking up 90% of my free time. I still have a day job working 28 hours a week also. Its been a lot to take on. But I'm going to make it happen. Helps having one of my best friends as a business partner. I'm determined to make a a living out of it so damnit its going to happen! I have everything paid off already also. I've invested quite a bit into it since February. I've probably bought about $7000 worth of stuff and its all paid for. Still finding more and more I need to get.

    A cutting torch is still high on my list. I've been getting away with cranking my stick machine all the way up and blowing through whatever I need cut. Thickest I've cut that way is 1/4" so far.

    Aaron you ever figure out what you are going to do with the lights mounted in the bumper?

    Not 100%. I want them in the bumper but need some square tubing as well to get it how I want. I also thought about just getting some brighter reverse lights and leaving the bumper alone.

    I was just about to say something like this. Rigid website says the Duallys are 3x3 so the face being 3.5x3.5 should be very close.

    Adam, see if you have any 4" square tube. I would need 2 pieces about 3 or 4 inches each.

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the pilot of the jet did not realize the two prop planes were sitting still or is just a complete idiot?

    From what the pilots said a prop governor on the right engine failed and it revved up to redline turning the airplane into ours.

    Wouldn't the left engine have to rev up in order to turn the plane to the right?
