Hello gents. Last night my pietenpol looked the most like an airplane as it ever has. I finished the cabene struts and the center section was sitting in the corner so I threw it on for a picture. It made me realize how much closer I am to the finish line. The engine is sitting there waiting for a motor mount to be made, the fuel tank is patiently waiting to be installed, tailwheel is finished, wings are complete and ready to cover, wing struts are ready and the main landing gear is just about finished.
