Hello to all
My name is Dave Muldoon and my Skybolt story started 25 years ago when I decided to build an airplane. I wanted to build one as my first airplane, however realizing that my complete lack of skill and aviation knowledge was pretty slim, I elected to go with the RV-6. Sadly life circumstances forced a move overseas and that put an end to my building. Fast forward all these years later, while having taken over a Wolf Boredom Fighter project, I discovered the original builder was selling his Skybolt.
So....while I build the Boredom Fighter, I am happily the new owner of C-FSOJ and fulfilling my dream to fly a Skybolt after all these years. I truly love this airplane and will be sadly parting with my beloved Fleet Canuck to make room in the hangar.
She won’t win a Lindy, was grounded for the last 18 months (properly inhibited engine), the fabric is almost 30 years old, which will be replaced in a couple of years, the panel is pretty basic, however, she is a sold airframe with a strong I0-360 and Hoffman prop on the front.
I will need to change the bungees, for which I have the tool, but would love to see a copy of the video that folks refer to on this forum, for the installation, if anyone has a link....
Have a great day
Dave
