Still working on getting caught up on blog posts so this news is already a couple weeks old. I mentioned that my family was coming for a visit...the contingent included my parents, two of my teenage nieces (Kaylee and Kristen) and my nephew. They were on hand for the engine hanging. Even though I am a single guy with no kids, building an RV should still be a family affair if possible...get them involved! Here are a few pics...
Can I get in the "airplane" Uncle? Of course you can, let me lift you inside! How could you say no to that face? :) A pilot in the making I'm hoping.
Here he is moving the stick around. I actually had the elevator controls hooked up at this point so he enjoyed moving the stick and seeing the tail surfaces move. Apparently he couldn't stop telling everyone that "Uncle let him sit in the airplane!" Love it. :)
What happens if I pull on this one? "Oops Uncle, I broke it"....hehe, not to worry little G-man, it can be fixed.
Of course, Pop was more than happy to dig right in on several projects while he was here, which as stated previously, a huge help.
Assembling some temporary wheel chocks...
Getting ready to hang the engine...
Checking out all the goodies I had put on display for the engine hanging party..it was quite an assortment of engine probes, avionics, cable harnesses, stick grips, seat belt harnesses, etc.
The "boys" at home in the shop...pure heaven!
Pop graciously offered to tackle the brake assemblies that I had been neglecting since I got the brackets powder coated...along with repacking the wheel bearings.
Using the "RV jack" I bought...looking good
