You know I really like the blue. It's probably pretty fast to because it is a primary color of green.
Looks very nice Dillion. I look forward to seeing it at a future convention.

Re: Restoration Progress
Great looking plane, Dillon! I especially like it that you took a "before" picture and then an "after" picture in the same tiedown spot. Nice touch. Good luck at OSH.
Just curious as to why you did not paint the top of the rudder as in the "before" picture?

Re: Restoration Progress
Dillion congratulations.
I was showing off your 170 to folks at the airport today using pictures here and your blog. It is obvious you had some first rate support, after all your family is in the business, but your doing the work in the pictures which I pointed out to everyone. Quite an accomplishment for you.
I look forward to seeing your 170 at the next convention in Kentucky hopefully.
