The big day
is here (July 22, 2006), after just over 8 years the fuselage is moved to
the hangar. |
 |
|
On the road.
|
 |
|
The new home
for N61CY. Only the wing and a few odds and ends need to be painted now. |
 |
|
Right wing painting complete. just turning the wing around. My garage
doesn't allow for both sides of the wing to be painted at the same time. Oh
for a larger work area. |
 |
|
Engine mount, nose gear, rudder and elevators back on. |
 |
| Art
shot. Would have been better is it was centered. |
 |
| The
wing sees daylight for the first time. |
 |
| All
set for the ride tot he airport. |
 |
|
Everything unloaded successfully |
 |
| Hangar is
getting full, nice. Garage is getting empty, nicer. |
 |
| |
 |
| Panel installed
for the last time That is until I go to power it up. |
 |
| Here are a
couple of jigs that made life easier. The tool the wing is in allows the
work to be completed on the underside with out a stiff neck. The other tool
in the foreground is used to position the wing when mating to the fuselage.
Four car jacks in the four corners allow the angle of the wing to be very
easily adjusted. I can't stress would much help this type of tooling is.

 |
| Wing join! |
 |
| The departure
lounge. |
 |
| At one time
someone said to me, "Look at all the room between the engine and firewall".
What room! |
 |
| Every bit of
space has something occupying it or passing through it. And I am not
finished. |
 |
| In goes the
creature comforts, that is the upholstery. Crawling around inside the
airplane, oh how I missed that. |
 |
| Actually I am
not doing the job, only lending a hand at removing and installing bits and
pieces. Billy from North Country is doing the actual work and it is turning
out very nice. |
