HOW IT DID IT

Construction started in October 1990, in the basement of my home in Bettendorf, Iowa. During the first year, I completed the cockpit controls, tail feathers and wing ribs. In the spring of 1991, I was transfered to St. Paul, Minnesota where after 6 months of rebuilding a shop building, I finally got started on the welding, which was completed by the spring of 1993 when I was again transfered to Kansas City. The remainder of the aircraft was completed during 1994 & 1995. In 1996, I purchased a home 15 miles south of Kansas City, Mo. near a small community of Cleveland. The new place has two hangers (in v/poor condition) and a 1,900 ft runway. After another remodeling job on the hanger, I again got back to covering and painting during 1997. After about 6 months of small details fuel leaks, oil leaks, new mags on the engine, complying with "AD's" on the carb, it was certified to fly in September 1997.
