I got a LOT more done once I moved to the airport. Too
many distractions at home and all the other guys going flying was a huge kick
in my butt to keep working. Lots of extra hands available when I needed
them…

After viewing your video it looks to me like you a still a
ways from needing to bring your project to the airport. Take it from me that
once the airplane is at the airport it slows down progress. When it is home
you can work on it any spare moment you get and all your tools are right
there. Once it is at the airport you will have to travel to get there,
no matter how close it may be and you will inevitably forget to bring the
things you need to work on it.
What is the rush to go to the airport?
I did all my engine testing at home and did not go to the
airport until it was ready for taxi testing.

Hi Thomas...
We haven't left for Turkey day...At least not yet...
My new water pump came in yesterday and got itself
installed in short order. Amazingly this time no leakage :)
Though, I've put in 2 gallons of coolant and it still hasn't topped
out, but it is close. Also, put in a gallon of SAE40 oil, again not
quite where it needs to be so today will find me at NAPA again to get some
more fluids.
This is all working towards moving the fuselage out to
the airport on Sunday. A local EAA member was interested to know
where I was at so I made him a ten cent tour video( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wS6oqEVN2hI ).
I know it looks like chaos, but most of that is just wires needing
bundling. Here's to hoping after Thanksgiving I can get the engine
started to find out where my install hangs together and where it doesn't.
In particular I doubt the oil cooler will be enough, but we'll see...
