05/23/03  - 05/27/03  guessing on the hours. (~ 30 for me and about 25 for the others)

Big weekend for multiple reasons.  My youngest daughter graduated from high school, Linda's family came from Alabama to visit and be a part of Katie's graduation and we hung the engine on the plane.  I did not take any pictures during the process but here are several after the fact.  

Putting it on the landing gear.  Chris (my son) and Curtis (my brother-in-law) worked on getting the rear two legs and brakes assembled. 

Hanging the engine was simple enough.  I didn't have any problems installing the rubber or the bolts.  Pictures of the engine after the fact.  Looks great!!!!!!

I debated with myself on where to mount the floscan transducer.  It must be mounted with the wires oriented up and it just doesn't fit on the inside of the fuselage without additional trimming.  I decided to mount it on the firewall in this orientation.  I'll probably get some fire-sleeve to put over the aluminum tubing.  I need one more fitting to finish this up.

Looks cool doesn't it!!!
