It is Done: As-Built Constructed Airplane

After 5 years and 1 month, it is done.  Looking back my first post was September 25, 2006, when I began organizing the parts.  The twins were two and baby Reagan was yet to be. 

I pitched the Kiev prop and torqued all of the bolts and reassembled the cowling.  The plane is now ready for determining the empty weight center of gravity. 

 






Here is a canopy cover I obtained from Rans to protect the lexan from UV damage and hopefully provide a little theft deterrence.


Here is the new inflatable tailwheel I obtained from Rans to replace the provided one.
