I've had problems with acid reflux. I now have COPD. My doc says I have Emphysema, chronic bronchitis, and asthma. I don't eat after 5 pm and stay away from certain foods. I'm gonna say, I can truly appreciate what you're doing. I used to work on a lot of different machinery and now I can't change my oil. But, I'm fighting this disease. I exercise when I don't feel up to it and my body seems to respond. I admire you for putting together this beautiful bird. The Corsair, P51, and P40 are my favorite Warbirds. Each of them are special in their own right. I needed a little uplift tonight. Thank you!

Acid Reflux/GERDs.I had it a ten yrs ago was on a med for it. However I lost weight and it went away. Why? I found out our belly fat literally will pysically push our stomach upwards and in so doing raises the stomach contents to the valve/esophagus and cause havoc. Also found out as we age our stomach acid actually weakens so food takes much longer to digest and get out of our stomach which also causes havoc. So I lost weight and then also started tacking a digestive aid+ ox bile (can get from any healthfood store or amazon etc...) prior to every meal... problem went completely away now for 10yrs. Might want to give it a try/or do a bit of research, it's inexpensive.

@Dave-im7lw 2 жыл бұрын

You caught me by surprise when you started the engine. I thought you were just going to sit in the cockpit. Then you had me on the edge of my seat when you raised the tail. I can't tell you how many times I nosed over with my taildragger RC models trying to do that. Wow, what a sweet airplane.

@myleskehr7468 2 жыл бұрын

Don this is the video I've been waiting for! I've followed your build for about 5 years now and always look forward to the weekly updates. Seeing that tail lift off the ground gave me chills ha! I can't applaud your craftsmanship enough. I knew Carl back when he still owned W.A.R and met a gentleman through him who has a partially built Corsair and P-51. Seeing these latest updates has gotten me excited again about building my own and I just talked to that gentleman this weekend about that P-51 again. He still has it and hopefully I'll be able to get it from him. Thank you for documenting this so well and keeping that dream alive!
