Default The big move.







I had a big weekend. Its been a long time coming, but finally hit another big milestone. The plane lost its wings and prop and moved down the road to CYQG. The move was pretty uneventful but stressful. At this point everything is pretty much done, wings and prop back on, panel all fired up and tested, pants all done and fitted. I have the fuel flow test, the weight and balances, first engine start and the final inspection left. Hope to fly within a month. Heading south for a week and then its sprint to the finish line. Sure feels good to have this plane at the airport.


Nothing left to spend money on but avgas and paint

At osh 2011 no matter what! Good weather coming and oooooh so close.

Looks fantastic Rick! Can't wait to read about your first flight, and maybe running into you at Osh!

The one downside to these planes is that there seems to always be something else to spend money on!!! Good luck and see you at Oshkosh!!!!!!!!!

But at least it's usually our choice to spend money or just fly and enjoy the plane.

Nice Rick!!!! Can remember the day we unpacked the tail kit. By the way don't fool yourself with the statement above. You'll always think of something.

Take care and safe flying,
