Pietenpol-List: Douwe's progress report

Post by matronics »

Original Posted By: jorge lizarraga
Hey Dan, thanks for asking...Well, because of a work deadline, the last two months has been a bit slowerbut progress is again moving.I'm basically doing all the small piddly stuff. I'm just finishing up mywindscreens which I made of brass and were a bit time consuming. Next iscockpit coaming, hooking up the elevator cables, make flop catch, paintinspection etc, etc, etc.I probably won't put the wings on in my studio so that'll will wait until Iget it to the airport. If I can keep up the progress, I'm hoping to be ableto get it to the airfield late Nov or early Dec. I'm really going to try toget tough and do what I can (taxi testing, glitch identification) duringwinter so I'm really ready for spring.Lowell Frank says he'll come down and do the first hops.For those of you who havn't followed for the last few years... shortfuselage, Ford, three piece wing, Jenny gear with big wheels.How'bout you Dan? I assume you're pretty darn close yourself.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________Date: Sun, 4 Oct 2009 14:15:48 -0700 (PDT)
