Empty shop the night before |
Piles of parts ready to go |
Engine waiting for a home |
Poised for birth |
Pre-move inspirational speech and
prayer |
Scott & Brenda view the pit |
Sure looks a LONG way down |
Paul, the mountain climber rigs the
ropes |
Tod and Tom bring the tail to the brink |
2 Walts, 2 Rons view from 3rd floor |
Approaching the brink |
Todd assures the first floor is ready |
Tail suspended over 3 floors |
Tail almost in reach |
Tail breaches the door |
Final release down the shaft |
Over the edge |
Rolling down the wall |
Voila, the birth |
MEANWHILE...Hugh constructs ramp |
Ralph advises Hugh on ramp construction |
Finishing touches to ramp |
MEANWHILE...engine jockeyed into
position |
Engine in place |
Charlie, Ron, Scott, Butch and Todd
attaching side panels |
Scott and Todd adjust cowling... |
MEANWHILE...Derek and Matt supervise
wing movement |
Down the ramp, Hugh holds on |
Scott and Tom catch the tail |
Scott and Tom guide it down the ramp
while Butch watches and sweats |
Into the sunlight for the first time |
The baby breathes free |
Attaching Starboard wings |
MEANWHILE...Wayne and Polo attach prop |
Polo doing final torquing |
Port wing being attached |
Plane holding Butch up |
Scott takes a turn in the seat |
Hugh tries a fly |
Indicted co-conspirators share a moment |
|
One happy guy |
|
View from 3rd floor |
