I just got a bunch of parts in that will let me get rolling on the Pitts project. Now that the weather is warming up, I can start mixing glue again.
The biggest arrival was the box of Wolf gear parts from Tony. Very nicely done. I'll have a chance tomorrow to do some trial fitting and start thinking about the new sheet metal for the belly. I'll get all the stock gear fittings cut off and see what I'm up against. I'll have to remake at least one steel former on the bottom to accommodate the exhaust tunnel. Not sure yet what else will have to be adjusted.
Also got the bearings for the wings, a PC680 battery, steel for the new rudder and plywood for the extra full size ribs I need.
I already have the aileron kit from Raven and have been working on the bottom wings to get that going.
That should keep me busy for a while. Kind of like a late Christmas!
