JimRice Posted June 23, 2020 Author Share Posted June 23, 2020 Wings, windshield and landing gear, including tailwheel installed. Had a booboo while attaching top wing, which sent it back to paint shop. Thin super glue got away from me...and attached a rubber band to the wing. I am now waiting for white to dry prior to restoring the now missing red stripe. Once paint repair is done, all that remains is rigging flying wires and removing crossbar on landing gear. It could have been worse... Alex, LSP_Kevin, KiwiZac and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimRice Posted June 25, 2020 Author Share Posted June 25, 2020 Rigged everything but bottom two tail wires after shooting with Pledge Floor Shine (AKA Future). Top tail wires were added before pictures snapped. LSP_Kevin, KiwiZac, Anthony in NZ and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimRice Posted June 26, 2020 Author Share Posted June 26, 2020 (edited) The 35+ year journey ended tonight. The Pitts is done. I've posted a completed photo series in "Ready for Inspection" along with brief history of N66Y and my own quest to build this kit.
