Completion
New bungees are installed... | ...and she can sit on her own legs at last. | ||
I now have an empty workshop! |
The H-frame is assembled up (this photo shows bump-stops attached to the fuselage frame). |
To nail the boot cowl to the door frame, I protect the painted surfaces with masking tape to eliminate ham-fisted hammer marks. |
The new interior goes in. |
A surprising number of fairings still need to be made, however. Here, the original wing root covers are being painted, along with new fairings for the skylight and the screen door pillars. |
She flies after 4 1/2 years under a permit to
test. A great feeling! |
