It took a while, but it was worth it. My “retirement project” took 7-1/2 yrs to finish because of being called back to work. This stock Highlander flew for the first time January 2013, and it is such a fun airplane to fly, I have to force myself to put it back in the hangar. The airplane loves turf and hates concrete.
