Looking like it's a one way. Tranny has the 1/2 ton rear mount, which I think is a plus as it'd be hard to wear out a T-9 in a half ton pickup. Looks really clean and goes through the motions. I have some of the big truck mounts hanging on a nail. Guess I'll have to free spool the cable out. I have enough tonner parts to build two more trucks, One fairly nice and the other would be a bit rough around the edges. Oh, and Lindberg had a periscope out the side but it never worked very well. Same goes for the replica. He says it is not a very fun plane to fly, but he's planning to fly it over to Friday Harbor, our county seat on Aug 8th. John was born and raised on Lopez island, one of the closest neighbors to Orcas.
