Well its Winter again in New England. I get the neighbors garage again for the winter. This is how I loaded N323XL on to the back of my truck for the 2 mile journey to the temporary garage. And for the journey back to the airport for display. I remounted the landing gear at the airport. After the show I made a tow bar and dragged the fuselage the 1.5 miles back to the house. Now I am set up back in the neighbors garage and hope to be near complete in April
The canopy was cut apart from the turtledeck (they were glassed as a single unit) and removed. The motor mount was reinstalled and the instrument panel was fit in between the longerons.
The Instrument panel was completed and now waits for a few mounting brackets. The seat ribs were cut lower by 1.5 inches for more headroom. The Aluminum stub wing tanks have been started. Look for an update on them in the next few weeks.
