Whoa crap, haven't posted for a few days!! Lol
Hasn't been much to take pictures of though as I've just been getting the hinge pins in and all the hardware locked down. The last couple parts are in the mail, and really all that's left is to run the engine on the test stand, then bolted back to the airplane, plumb the fuel system and program the radio.
Oooh, there is a picture for ya! the flying wires are all finished. I painted the broomsticks with some silver Testors model paint and attached them to the wires with some white string and a drop of Zap.
With the Krier just a few days away from being done, I've been planning the next build. Unfortunately that means something needs to go to make room (and fund the next one) so the decision was made to sell the Trueworthy Pitts......
I know, I know, it sucks.... But, it's really big and I just don't fly it as much as I do the smaller stuff anymore. I'm going to list it in the classified's shortly as just the airframe for $450. And when it's sold, I'm going to start buying wood for the Hot Kanary (silver lining to the drag of selling it).
Anyway, for now its back to finish and fly the Krier

Welp, you can have it for some certain green pieces of paper! Lol
I am going to sell the engine and power system separately, because I found some damage that needs to be addressed on the airframe, and figured with that, someone might be more inclined to buy it if it was empty and cheap.
