I was thinking you had the wrong power plant there ..... but I thought maybe Terry was rubbing off on you and you decided on a little giz-mology ........... ldguy

Ya neva know Gerry!

Could be a cool project sometime!!

Looking good Ed!!

Thanks Warren! Yeah, it does give ideas for a future build don't it :hmmm

 

[Hippy Ed]

Managed to get the central lower wing finished up with the cockpit set in place late last night & test fit the assembly into the fuselage. Looks like it'll line up good. Just needta figger out what's hanging it up as it wont go in all the way Me thinks me needsta break out da vaseline... :hmmm

 

[Hippy Ed]

I figgered out what the hang up was & got the central wing installed & realised that I forgot to put the I.P. in beforehand so, had to take it apart & insert the I.P. into place & then re-installed the wing panel. The problem is the left-hand pilot's panel (w/ trim wheel) needed to be "pried" away from fuselage whilst sliding the assembly in.
All good now 8) Pics'll be posted later...

Things have changed up today so, I'm home & decided to pull the a/bs down but, since my back is hurting I'm not doing too much today.
Here's the Badger 175 that's broke
