N4790U...getting closer.

We've been really pretty busy here in the shop the past couple weeks. I'm sorry for not posting. Hopefully, I can get back into it better.

We finished N342EA and it went back to Entebbe, Uganda.

We are currently working on 90U to finish it up and also on 5Y-SIL changing the right MLG fitting, which has a crack in it. Thanks to JM, the pilot who reported a "funny sound, not something normal." Upon further inspection, I found a crack that was about 3 inches long and not in the "normal" place that cracks occur.

Anyway, here's some pictures of 90U. Nate Killoren got the cargo pod installed and is working on closing up the wings and the fuselage so that we can install the seats and then work on getting the toe and camber adjusted. Then the plane is to be weighed, fuel tests, and then a test run will be in the near future.


Getting the cargo pod aligned to begin installing the screws.

Nate K. putting the screws in...

Nice interior. Looks good enough to fly...

Pod installed. Ready to go soon.
