At the EAA Chapter meeting in May we brought out 001 for a demonstration. |
 |
Chapter members watch the runup as the mighty VW threatens to rip the tie down chain right out of the ramp. |
 |
It ran so well that we took the chain off the tail and Al taxied it around the ramp. |
 |
This demonstration was entered in the log as taxi test 1. |
 |
The second engine has been mounted. |
 |
Some members work on #002 (right) while others prepare #001 for the FAA inspection. |
 |
A whole bunch of fuselages getting the firewalls prepared for engines. |
 |
The main workshop. Lots of fuselages. |
 |
# 003 gets ready for an engine. |
 |
Installing the pitot tube. |
 |
Doyle's clever painting makes the aluminum tube look like wood. |
 |
We all liked the wood look so much that we're making him do this to the V-Struts, landing gear legs, and cabanes on all of the aircraft. |
 |
Nifty looking leather boot over the aileron pushrod. |
 |
The last wing gets the final touch. |
 |
Lots of wings waiting. |
 |
More wings and elevators waiting. The engine has been mounted on 003. |
 |
The cable under the axle braces it so it doesn't sag. |
