Doug Eves sent this photo of the Ol' girl in flight. Taken from the ground, this is a great shot. You can see he is "relaxing" in his office in the sky...

I'm back!

I have finally gotten back into working on airplanes. I have been rebuilding my motorcycle engine, making car repairs, working on the house, working a lot and helping a work friend coach baseball. Since I have gotten over some of those hurdles, I am now going to focus the majority of my time working on my airplane. I have started back on the right flap and have riveted that all together. I have made airfoil jigs so I can align the aileron to the wing. The aileron brackets have been installed on the rear spar and I can now work on getting the aileron bellcrank and linkage all hooked up and working. Once this is done, I will get the flap lined up to the aileron and rivet all that bracing to the rear spar. Then the wing can be wired and closed up. I can then start on the next one. Ugh! It's a lot of work to get the wings all done. At least the fuselage I only have to do once!
