Here we go my friends. Temporary assembly of the Pitts. In fitting everything together, all went well except for the top canopy/hatch. It appears it will need just a little touch up for fit. Course, I have not final sanded yet, so that will probably take care of it. Way to wet outside and since I can not sand anywhere other than that, guess it will have to wait. I guess covering will be held off for a little while. No big though. Not like Spring is just around the corner.
I got a steal on two brand new "correctly sized" Airman Wheels for the big Yak, so off came the White Rose. I wanted to see how they would look on the Pitts. Although they look pretty bad ass, I feel just a tad too big for the airframe. Oh well, I will just order new "correct sized" for the Pitts.
I also purchased a new aluminum spinner and back plate. Not the Ultimate styled spinner that is in the photos. Again, just a test fit. I think the one I got for this plane will look better than the Ultimate style.
More to come gentlemen.
