July 28, 2008 - Cub and Baby Ace Restoration |
||||||
Stopped by Bruce's house to check out the progress on his Cub and Baby Ace restoration projects. Here is the Baby Ace fuselage. He powder-blasted the frame, then epoxied it with the nice shade of blue. He's covered the empennage. |

The panel is amazing, when you consider
what it was before. That's a Garmin 295 in an AirGizmo mount.
It's the same 295 that showed us the way in the Citabria for many
years. I really like the panel layout -- simple and elegant.
It has everything you need for day
VFR.

Bruce made these nice looking floorboards. | ||||||
The Baby Ace had a Cub cowl. It
was pretty nasty but cleaned up
nicely.

Bruce had a guy down in North Carolina do the fuselage for him. The workmanship is outstanding. | ||||||
The guy also did the wings, so the Cub will probably fly this fall. The Ace wings still need covering. |
