Project List

Hangar 1

MINI-MAX

Owner Randy Lewis

Randy has flown the plane about 4 times. He has switched to a different engine, a 2 cylinder 2 stroke rotax. He has some issues with the carburetors loosening up and is working on a fix. 

Zenith 601

Owner Eugene Linhart

 Due to an AD issuance from the FAA he has removed the wings and is working on complying with the AD. This is a beefup in the fuselage carry through and the wing spars. 

Zenair 601 HDS

Owner Ron Hansen

Project List

Hangar 2

 Wheeler Express

Owner Ali Moghaddas

Ali is doing runs and taxi tests and has some wiring issues to clear up.

 Varieze

Owner Doug Wagner

Fitting controls and other prep work.  Lots of sanding currently, and the dust continues to fly. Canard installation is coming up next. Canopy mounting and hold open gas cylinders mounted.

Storch Kit

Owner Gary Van Meter

Engine Suzuki with Raven redrive. Engine mount needs some welding for fit. Control rods and bell cranks for the elevators complete. The fuselage frame work is pretty well complete with horizontal and vertical stab brackets being reworked. Then Gary will be sealing wood with 2 part epoxy. Manufacture of carry through tubes for spar connection at rear center spar is on short list.

Tiger Moth

Owner Don Nelson

Don is working with Explorer and Scout groups building wings. 4 wings are complete. He is building the aileron in the lower right wing. He is fitting the aileron spar inside wing the ribs. With this kit the aileron is built as an integral part of the wing and once built is cut out of wing.

RV-9

Owners Geoff and Matt Patterson,

Geoff and his son continue to progress in hangar 2. He has received more components and needed more assembly space so Cecil Hatfield’s RV-6 was moved to the storage facility immediately west of hangar 2. The fuselage is ready for installing seats from what I understand.

.

Dick Crowe’s cleanup in hangar 2 continues to progress. Dick is pulling all loose supplies, cans and so forth on to one table. Owners may claim their stuff. Unclaimed material will be put in a chapter stock cabinet. Leftovers will go on a “free” table and unclaimed items will be trashed or sent to Hazardous waste.
