Anyone know where in particular the testing was done? Knowing that might help Dave narrow his search.

Many of Ed's testing photos are from Cantwell, Alaska.

I just want to say it was a pleasure to be part of the build team Saturday.
I had a great time and the sled looks very good.

The prep crew did a fine job rounding up parts and getting things painted and repaired.
Chuck disappeared and came back with a box of save the day items.
Lloyd was a gracious host and had us covered for tools and some odds and ends. And lunch!
Justin did us a great service with his work beforehand.
Thanks to all the guys that donated parts.

This was my first time working on a 340S and I came away with a real appreciation of the model. It is a very well engineered machine with many cool features. I now know why it is so covented by it's owners.
