Another great 3-day weekend at RV-Central. AOPA PILOT Technical Editor, Mike Collins, visited the project and interviewed all the volunteers present - he also put his camera and pad down for a while and got his hands dirty working in the RV-1.

Update >> on happenings after the weekend gathering - Danny King and Walt Aronow have been busy... Danny installed the new spark plugs donated by Tina's Pilot Shop and installed and tested the ignition harness. Walt completed the installation of the instrument panel and all aircraft wiring. Prop should be delivered Friday which will get this weekend's work off to a running start. We're getting close!
