You did notice that there is an Electric Substation located near Rogers, that is in case he ever plugs them all in at once.


All kidding aside, I am honored that I havd the pleasure of seeing the 51R in operation, in fact both 51Rs at the same time!

If I was firing the Jensen 51 replica with Esbit, the lady of the house would have evicted me years ago!

150hours, that would be 3.75 weeks, almost a month if you were working a 40 hour week!
How do you keep track of it, Roger? Do you have an engine/hour meter hooked up?
Very well done!
Phil
