Clint is a gentleman genius and I love seeing another BLT come to life. Keep the videos flowing, and the next time you are up there, could you delve into some of the details like tailwheel trailing arm design, use of teleflex, the aileron pushrod controls, and the wing construction allowing for a single lift strut? These little details (and more) are super interesting and separate the BLT from the rest of the pack!
Looks absolutely fabulous Todd! So happy to see how you are building the "lightness" in. I've had several planes with power, but none with light. You just can't get it out once it's done. Can't wait to see it fly.
Freaking cool man! You can mess with the power later. I can't wait to see the comparison between power to weight ratios of the s-7 and BLT . That wing is amazing. Hell the whole plane is amazing! Lol. Ok, back to work as Patey would say.
Wow. Can’t wait to see your plane fly. BLT are going to be a big hit, will have a hard time keeping up. I think keep it simple & light is the key. Keep it up.
I was out at Rocky Mountain Roosters on Monday. Someone was cruising around real slow. Thought it might be GKF but the skin color was white. Looking for forward to the Traveler in the skies of CO.
Looks great but I wish you guys would use certified aircraft plumbing. I've seen these hoses fail (oil, brake and probably fuel) and it's not worth the little bit of extra weight savings you gain. It might cost you 10lbs and a couple of hundred dollars to go with the same stuff as a P-51. There is reason for the extra durability of some TSO'd materials.

Enjoyed. Hope its flying soon.

I like the idea of a Bearhawk Patrol so this really has my attention.

Looking good Todd- can't wait to see it back in CO!!
Thanks for the update Todd. Great to see it coming along.
Thank for the video - you just might encourage me to get one!
I would put some insulation between the battery and the firewall.
3:26, battery case lightening holes, that's the kind of attention to grams, that adds up to ounces, then pounds, nice!
Awesome, looks super cool. Keep up the good work!!!!

I've been waiting for this update!
That is just Stupid Cool, I love it...
Very cool project! Well done!
Can’t wait to see it fly.
I must have missed the previous 3 episodes. I have some catching up to do.

LSI electronic ignitions ?
Wish they’d make this wing with a side by side configuration.
