Looks like the photo feature is either restored (Thanks Mithc!) or Frank is some kind of computer guru to post a pic on the site after all others had failed.
How'd ya do it Frank?

No Gurus here

Hi Glenn
I tried in vain for a couple of nights to upload photos from my drive and finally gave up. The next thing I did was to upload a couple of photos to my free web space (provided by sponsor when you have a free web page) using an FTP program. The files I uploaded were referenced (pointed to using the URL location of the files) in the add photo box that comes up when you click on the yellow icon (looks like a postcard) just above the reply to message box. It actually worked pretty easy after I quit trying to include the wrong directory name in the address to locate my files! Did you happen to notice the red X where my picture was supposed to be that was on the page for a day or so. That meant that the SWP server could not locate the file.
When you get a chance go to the main SWP page and notice that on the photo gallery main page the Vagabond thumbnail is no longer there. I tried twice to upload a picture there and only managed to get the photo description to appear and erased the main page thumbnail in the process??? Hope this info helps.

Photos

Hi Ed
The only photos I have on the web so far are the one that is two posts before this one and the ones that you see here. I am adding the photos below of PA 15 to 17 conversion today. More to come later.

PA 15/17 conversion

Thanks guys for the nice compliments.
I will post a photo of the plane when I got it and you wont believe the transformation. I found it in a hanger in Louisiana with the wing spar cracked / bent, one gear folded under the fuslage and prop strike damage. Results from the dreaded ground loop. What you see is the result of two years of rebuild from the ground up and several improvements (conversion to 17). Now the plane is a 2006 model

[Ed Brown]

I enjoy hearing stories like that one Frank. You did a great job.

Hi Frank,
Beautiful airplane. A real work of love and craftsmanship. Too bad the photos cannot open larger in a new window.
The current photo deal is way too complex, I hope Mitch reads this and finds time to resolve the original process. I suspect a module in vBulletin is messed up, or some other goofy thing.
It usta work, it arta work, it gotsta work!
Then again, I suppose it ain't supposed to did like it use to was....

I seem to have misplaced the pictures of N7011K in its last reincarnation as a red airplane so imagine my surprose when I was looking through the June 2007 issue of EAA Sport Aviation ( page 61) and saw what I am sure is 11K on the left. All I can say is the photographer has good taste and a good eye! Now if I can get it back like that again I will be happy.

I was told the picture upload feature was fixed but I could not upload a very small picture. Has anyone else tried?
