BIRD CK
APRIL 2007
Dylan works hard---
While Mike & Larry take a break.
Some shots of the forward seat to our Bird CK project
This is the foldable jump
seat that fits just ahead
of the seat in the above
pictures. This was a slick
way to generate a little
more revenue on those
sightseeing flights. To the
left is the rudder bar.
Another shot of the
rudder / brake bar.
The lower right wing
takes shape.
Bird horizontal stabilizer
covered and ready for
stitching.
The fuselage with some old parts being test fitted. You can see Kelly working
on fitting some of the new wood formers. The old engine mount is also in
place to allow welding of the new fittings.
A shot of the Kinner rebuilt by Al Ball that will be
used to power the Bird. (The exhaust collector will
be rebuilt)
Dr. Larry has the tools for the job. He is working on one of the
ribs for the Bird.
Dylan & Larry hold a fuselage stringer
assembly for the Bird.
Some shots of the Bird wings progressing.
