I am currently in the process of updateing N147RB and making it airworthy once again after sitting in Hangers and being shuffled from owner to owner since the mid '80's. Its no small job, but I feel much faster than building a new BD-4 from scratch - not to meantion SIGNIFICANTLY less expensive! :-) But I guess this log will show the truth of that line of thinking!
