Day 1 ,

Walking to work it started snowing , well i think it was snow ,it was a bit more like sleet . Anyway after about an hours talk from Ben the chief builder we split up . Jim started on the wings plumbing while I started on the brakes and rudder pedal

 The wings as we found them . Nice workmanship and fully corrision proofed.

Myself prepping the gasculator .Notice the beanie.... but there is heating

 Installing fuel tanks and plumbing.

 The tanks come in and out several times before you get them right.

 Installing the electric pumps in both wings.

 Brakes and pedals installed and some brake lines

 The fuse as we found it . Plenty to do :-)

The tail section needs all fittings installed . One brack was misaligned and had to be reinstalled. Paul riveted in the vertical stabs spar in earlier in the day

 Looking at the bare bones tail section

 Pedals installed , which is very easy with no firewall installed

 The previous build being finished , it will be going flying this friday. Its final home will be Texas.

 The previous build again , A tail dragger prior to painting.

 Brakes and flap handle installed .

 A previous ready to be shipped . The tundra tyres are used for alaskan bush flying.

 Jim looking at his other purchase (I'm joking Andrea)
