Alright well its 2:30 AM right now and I can't get to sleep so I figured I'd give ya'll a little update as to what I have going on...Lock 'n' Chase is on hold for a couple days, I don't want to start restoring the cab until I get the game working 100%. I pulled the boards out of it earlier today to see what I could do about the sound issue. I pulled one of the chips out of its socket and managed to f**k up the pins on it, after 20 minutes of straightening them out I put it back in and gave up for now. (I don't think the chips are the problem anyway). Oh, on the positive side, I found someone that will send me another monitor chassis so I'm just waiting on that, should come in within a week or so, then I can get back to work on the game.
As for my two space encounters games, I still don't want to start them until LnC is done, but I have found a couple replacement parts that I might be picking up in the next few days and then put aside.
In the mean time, while I wait for the Monitor Chassis, I decided to pull out my motorcycle and do some work on it seeing as how the weather is starting to get nicer out. Over the winter, I thought it'd be smart to rip it apart and rebuild it...I got it ripped apart but then stopped so I spent all day trying to remember how everything goes together. So as of now the whole thing is back together and running but I need a new clutch cable (Should be coming in on Monday). I'll throw some photos of the bike up later.

About Me
- Kyle Carroll
- Hi, I'm Kyle, and I'm an avionics troop in the US Air Force. Ever since I was a little kid, I've been into aviation and always loved flying. I always wanted to get my pilots license but it was something I could never afford. In 2009, I got my first "real" flight lesson, in an RV-4. It was one of the best times of my life and ever since then, I took as many flight lessons as I could and started working towards my private pilot license and many other ratings on top of that. I've always dreamed of building my own airplane and now that dream is starting to become a reality. This blog is all about my adventure on building an RV-7 aircraft from design to completion and beyond.
