Had to wait for the rain to stop the other night- but was rewarded with an fantastic sunset over Destin

that's a beautiful photo and that red/orange scheme is really growing on me!

I did my first cross country on the 4th in a friends C-90 cub. We flew into Keller Brothers near Lititz Pa. What a pristine airfield! It was a great experience. |

All airports should have a grass strip

My good friend John took me for a ride in his Stearman based at Van Sant. it was a hoot!

 

[Citibria]

I want to see pictures of all y'all smiling and having fun with your airplanes! lol

If those mother f'ing Cub and RV guys can do it then so can we!

Me and sweetie!

I took a little cross country trip yesterday from North Texas down to the Texas Hill Country. Fredericksburg (T82) has a very nice hotel on the field. Had a nice view of Enchanted Rock State Park on the way back this morning.

Nice, you're in my part of the country!! I used to hunt in Fredericksburg BTW... Spent alot of time at enchanted rock when the kids were younger too..

 

[KenLock]

Spent a lot of time cleaning, color sanding, buffing, and ceramic coating this beauty. Too bad this pic does not do the shine justice, but the bugs just slide right off now.

I did fly today, but thought you might be interested in my ground project for Sept/Oct. This is the lower right wing of the Stearman - wing itself was supplied by Rare Aircraft. Some suggestions on rib stitching from Big Sky Stearman. Cover and paint by me.

Note the Cub wheels on the dolly - and note the Budge car cover bags protecting them! Budge sold me some covers for my Mustangs six years ago, guaranteed for seven years. They have been good as gold in replacing them as the sunlight turns them into powder every two years - and this time they sent me bags! Perfect for over-spray shields!

Lake Tahoe. 850.’

Very nice rotisserie wing looks great when do you hope to have it flying?

I'd like to see it flying early in November. I think the driver is I should have ordered the urethane top coat earlier. I will do the white coat this afternoon. I am hoping Air Tech got my sample and can mix AN Yellow next week.

The rotator is Wag Aero, but much modified. It has so far done one Cub wing, two Taylorcraft wings, and this one.
Necessary are the steel bars connecting both ends. Also necessary are giant vees where the hoop needs guidance. The little wheels are for careful shop movement, and the big wheels, along with diagonal braces, allow movement around the airport.

The rotator, and the Croix HVLP system, have dramatically changed how I do wings.

LAX and the new LA Stadium. This morning.

This thread is depressing me. I am enjoying the building process, but realizing that I am probably going to go a year without flying really sucks.
