Your test pilot will need a cushion or two. Damn, I must be getting old; I thought I was young when I went solo

Looks great Joe! 
I see that you are starting Autumn early in aviation. Not that it surprises me at all.

Joe is the Test Pilot!
Your just saying that to make me feel better.
No actually that was a goof on my part!
I was a bit hung over this morning when I posted that and I now I finally realized you are talking about Joes Daughter!
Yeah I feel stupid now....

Thanks guys - besides getting the wings on I have to comply with an AD on the wing struts. The lower portion of the struts corrode so that has to be checked. Also the numbnuts who covered the wings left out about a half dozen cap screws on the lower R/H wing on the L/E. I have to find out if I could put the capscrews over the covering and the patch them or else the whole right wing will have to be re covered.
Although she ran well, the mag switch didn't work right, (bad ground) I had fuel leaks all over the place and the oil pressure sending unit was leaking - all because the folks from Taylorcraft put all the fittings on just a tad tighter than hand tight. I've got to go through everything to make sure this thing doesn't fall apart on the first flight.
Anyway, more to come!

One thing I know for sure is that it will be tip top when you get done with it. I look forward to seeing it done.

I'm dustin' this one off....
Today I moved the plane today to Meadowlake Airport, just east of Colorado Springs. I have it in a hangar and am ready to put the wings on. With that said I'm looking for a first flight sometime in September or October. Stay tuned!
