Pietenpol-List: N74DV gets some attention today

Original Posted By: "Carl D. Vought"
Woke up this morning, pulled up the weather and saw that we were only goingto see a high of 102 today...... "ooooohhhh that's nice and cool" I saysto myself, "maybe I'll work on the plane".Cleaned out the shop from all the crap that has accumulated this summer androlled out N74DV. Had to stare at it for about 20 minutes to regroup andfigure out my new plan of attack. I spent about an hour today finishing upthe mixture control bellcrank that's bolted to the firewall.So..... with cooler weather on the horizon I have kicked off the buildingseason a month early.Firewall forward is about 85% complete. I plan on having it 98% byCopperstate Fly-in in October (not including cowling). Then it's time toput the wings on, run the aileron cables, take it all apart and then the bignasty "C" word.... Cover. ugggghhhh I'm nervous about the covering butI'll read the books and watch the videos many times before then.I'm gonna do my best to have this machine flying by April or May....finances and time permitting.DJ VeghMesa, AZN74DVwww.imagedv.com/aircamper_________________________________________________________________________________Date: 22 Aug 2004 21:39:37 -0000
