I could have said "Hookers". It would have made for an equally interesting, but misleading chapter title. I have been working on many onerous tasks recently, in parallel with working the punch list I got from Wally, my technical counselor. I am trying to get ready for a first engine start soon. After that, the plane goes to the painter. I am painting early in the project because I think it will be most time efficient, and I don't want to compromise on the painting. It is my opinion that the painter can do a better job if he paints an unassembled plane, and I don't want to tear apart a plane that is already flying.
So about the hookers and the crotch straps...
My five point restraint harnesses are made by Hooker, and I needed to rivet in the anchors for the crotch straps before I put the floors in.
Progress recently:
 |
| Big picture shot to show off the airplane |
 |
| Spinner is now firmly and finally on |
 |
| The stationary parts aft of the constant speed prop |
 |
| Crotch strap anchor riveted in pilot side |
 |
| Rudder cables attached to allow brakes to be usable |
 |
| The empennage is on for good!! |
