I guess I have been grinning a lot. The fire was my own fault. Over priming. I had a fuel tank leak for the first six hours until I finally got it fixed but all my other problems have been minor. I toasted my radio, one bad electrical connection but the backup battery on the fuel pumps saved my bacon, and other minor things. I kept my tired old 0-200 as stock as possible off the C-150 to minimize problems as I'm not much of an engine mechanic. All in all I'm very pleased with the performance so far. 260 hours and counting. Hope you get the Blackbird going soon so you can start grinning too. Larry
