Awesome build Tom. Looking forward to seeing her in person and flying together.

Got all my steel wing parts primed and Painted. Going to start putting the wing together soon.

Trying to finish up the boot cowl

Well I got the right wing back together and a couple friends came down and helped me cover it. We were working a lot from Thursday night to this morning and were able to get it covered, stitched and taped. I didn't get many pics.



I also got both flaps and the right aileron put back together and ready for cover. Trying to get the tail feathers blasted this week and we are starting on the weld on mods on the fuse.

Oh boy, I'm a little bit behind. I ended up moving home from Texas in the middle of the project. Shipped my blazer home and loaded up a pensky truck.

Made the interior panels for the extended baggage



New panel


Covered the gear


Sand blasted the fuselage. That was fun


Primed, painted, and painted the black on the fuselage






Red on the other wing


Finally covering the fuselage, new cables, new headerless fuel system, upper baggage






Nice and tight






Sense I've moved home I've opened up my own shop and I have been out straight, so the cub project has been slow. Getting after the cub now, I can't stand it flying it anymore. It will be done by the end of the year.

Looking great Tom.

I know the too busy feeling. I haven't even touched the 206 since getting it home. Hoped to work on it this winter but now I have a Scout to recover... helps pay the bills, but sure doesn't help the 206 get in the air!

One of these days I’ll update the rest, but flew the cub for the first time in 2 years and 2 months. Third landing was on the river.

Awesome! I love that checkerboard tail.... Nice airplane!

Fantastic! I like the checkerboard rudder also!

Nice job!!!

Congrats on finishing your cub rebuild. Looks like a beauty. Given the nature of the beginning of this thread and your focus on weight savings, were you able to keep it under 1,100 pounds with the extended baggage and 35s?
