That’s the plan Pat. Right now I have about 50 people all wanting to come see it fly. I should charge admission! 🙂

Ben, are you going to skin this baby in or leave the fuselage framing exposed?

It’s designed to be open to help with the weight and high cross wind conditions. I’ve seen some completely covered and some partially. I plan to keep it open.

I’ve got to go scout the area again, but back when I was fly a lot, we used to land on this dry lake bed west of Tucson. Lots of room to set up a VW camper site and have a big ‘ol party! Everyone is welcome when the time comes.

Finished all the little bits that make up the engine mounts. 1 1/8”x 1/8” with 45• cut on each end, and an aluminum insert with 45• cuts to accept the coned rubber anti vibration pieces. Now I just need to weld them up to the firewall mounts.

Not a lot new to update. Got the engine mounts done and threw on the engine just for giggles. Finished up center wing mounts yesterday. It’s coming along a little piece at a time.

Yea, you just flip it by hand. I stand behind the engine on the left side and flip the prop down with my left hand/arm. Got to get a new prop before I can run the engine any more. On tip is broke.

New job is four days in. I think they like me enough to keep me around! 🙂
