The tires and wheels look perfect. Ultralight bush plane???

^^^I like the look too. Spent the morning of my day off cleaning out the garage. Tore down the build table and got rid of all the crap stored under it.

Next up is axles. Going to turn down some old motorcycle axles I had in the junk box. sometimes it’s good to be a scrounge/hoarder. 🙂

My life would be meaningless without tools. Knocking out axles on my little mill/lathe.

Two complete axles. Now I can roll this puppy around.

Got it on all three wheels. Big step! Next up is the control stick.

Well, there was going to be pictures, but the web site gets hung up trying to load them. Maybe later.

Control stick done. Man, was there a lot of fiddle fucking around on that! Even with plans to follow, a lot of thought and planning went into it.

Now I can make the seat. Once that’s done, I can sit in it and set my rudder pedal distance. Getting there, slowly but surely. Just don’t call me Shirley. ?

Got the seat roughed in last night. Sat in it. Plenty of head room. Gonna have to practice sucking my dick so I can fold myself into this rig. Pretty tight getting in, plenty of room once in.

Nice work Ben. I’d be getting nervous about flying about now.

Nervous anticipation. It’s what keeps pushing me forward. I’ve definitely been more focused on this project lately, putting in a couple hours a night. I’d like to be ready to go this coming fall.

Got my seat finished last night. He is a little comic relief for all you watchers.
