Thanks Wayne - when she's done I'll post some detailed photos - maybe you could build one of your award winning models of her!

When I win the lottery this weekend Joe will probably be the owner of this bird Only stipulation is he will have to take me up for flights when I'm in Colorado on Hunting trips

Thanks Charles.

I have about a months' worth of work based on my schedule. If I had an easy access to parts and the time I could probably have her in the air within a week.

The camera will be along for the ride!

Beautiful bird Joe I always thought if I was ever able to get a plane I would start with an older Cub.

99% Complete!

Well here it is folks. Completed the weight and balance the other day. Just a few more minor adjustments and she's ready to fly. I wanted to start the taxi tests this week but weather and schedule dictated otherwise.

Once I get the log books completed I'll send a copy to the FAA guy who hung the red tag on the aircraft. I'm also keeping my local office in the loop as they eventually will have the final word on all this.

Actually it's "N6" but I know where you're coming from. I think the aircraft originally had an NC registration but for some reason someone changed it. I am going to put 6 inch numbers on the rudder.
