Thanks everyone for the encouragement along the way so far.
I have decided to end the original thread named after my birds old N number. The new thread will hopefully see us to completion of this major overhaul. It has been fun this far and a major educational experience for me!
Please join me as it’s a whole lot more fun when friends are along for the ride!
Over the past four years, there were many highlights! Some include in no particular order:
- moving the airplane from Seattle to Pennsylvania
- tear down and inspection AND lots of issues found and repaired.
- Paint scheme design ideas
- Canopy design ideas and construction
- plywood leading edges and wing tip fabrication
- low profile rear instrument panel fabrication and installation
- modified turtledeck and baggage area.
- a side bar Cessna 150 rebuild
- a daughter solos the 150
- a recovering father after a nasty crash
- engine overhaul
- cowling construction
- wiring and avionics.
-solid cabane struts and a complete re rig of a crooked airplane
After a little bit of taking inventory of what is yet left to do, it looks like still an estimated 300 hours of work! I hope y’all come with me.
