Well the hardest part is getting started. If any one wondered what ever happened to the pitts on Craigslist.....I picked it up. To many coincidences in a row told me this was fate. It's enough to write a short story, Im not a practicing religious man but it seems there is some thing divine out there. After good advice from the biplane forum and a lot of research and talking with all kinds of friendly and helpful FAA officials it happened.
The good the bad and the ugly.
The good.
Supportive wife
The project came with.
Nothing covered, Never completed, panel blank
Upper wing assembled no leading edge. rudder,
lower wing complete less ailerons,leading edge elevator,
Long fuse, firewall,
Cleveland breaks disk 1973 , flying wires $$$
Wheels , tank,
Canopy, wheel pants,
The bad
Starting life over at the age of 47 and going back to school...... no income.
No set of plans(yet) no engine,no gauges.
The ugly
Some broken wing ribs. (hanger rash) need a "how to". Don't like some of the welds but need someone with a better trained eye. I'm an EAA member but very few builders in the EAA clubs locally so I'm told.
I live in central Mass.
Willing to donate time, I need to learn.
Time is what I have and this is a project that I will see through to the end.
I also will be generous enough to except any donations. No money please it will only go to bills
