Been a long time coming!

Post by captain_john »

I have been waiting to see how this all lines up for quite some time!

Wyatt was just a pup back then!

Now, I have the cowling looslely fitted and needing the final finesse!

I just couldn't wait to see how it looked with the polished spinner!

It looked good on the floor.

...but it looks GREAT on the plane!

I am really pleased in how it is coming together!

How do you like the way it looks?

Thanks guys!

Vlad, actually there are 2 clecos holding it in place.

I am having fits with the cowling tonight. If you thought the canopy was a moving target, wait til you do the cowling!

hahaha

Oh well... all in a day's work.
