Fuselage Covered - remounting engine
Posted: Fri Nov 24, 2023 11:49 pm
The fuselage is basically covered. I do have a fair amount of finishing work left around the interior portions of the cabin area tubing.
With the covering done I was able to take the main gear off of the chairs that made it easier to get to the underside of the fuselage. Once that was done I used my handy Harbor Freight Engine Hoist to remove my "restored" 303 from the shipping crate to remount on the airframe.
If the weather remains fairly warm I just may open the hangar door and start her up. Also, I want to see what the nice red bubble cowl really looks like against the Sky Blue Oratex.
