Hi all
Hi all
Been a while, so I figure y'all are due an update.
Whether you want one or not!
I'm back out in the garage and painting ribs and cutting parts. All it took to get my building juices flowing again was to visit a private grass strip and take a tour of the field. who knew?
I've started tailwheel training. Two hours dual so far. I should have taken my primary training in this plane. sooo much fun.
Hope you all had a great summer.

PK, you are going to love the experience. It will teach you ALOT!
I am willing to bet the Bearhawk is even more docile than the Citabria. It is larger and longer from vertical axis to rudder.
Hguy, welcome to RB!!

Here are some progress pictures to chew on.
A couple of center ribs. Some primed, some not
nose ribs all drilled and clecoed to their stiffeners ready to rivet
a collection of aileron nose and pocket ribs. There are also some short ribs for behind the fuel tanks in there.
a bunch of stiffener angles, some bent some not
and finally, all of the wing spar blanks, aileron and flap spar blanks.
