It is getting close now
As of 2/28/2006 the 4E has been reassembled and taxi tested. It was found that the carburetor needed some work. It should be ready for reassembly shortly and this beautiful machine will be able to take to the air once more.
Just a quick update on the 4E. The aircraft has been flying
beautifully this past year.
However it was determined that there was a better solution for brakes on this
aircraft.
The pictures below show the installation of Redline disc brakes on the 4E and
though they
may not be original equipment they should make the aircraft more manageable.
