Stan Sweikar's Fleet Fully Rigged, Ready for First Flight

Posted in Members | June 21, 2012

Stan Sweikar at Wingfield Airstrip in Dameron, MD has his Fleet restoration almost ready for the first flight. Stan says:

Getting real close to first flight. Wings and tail were installed and rigged to Fleet Model 2 (NC431K) on June 7th. No surprises, all went well on the assembly. Aircraft was weighed on June 16th, showing a slight increase in weight with the Y-150 starter and battery installation. Now for the finishing details and hopefully first flight in 24 years by 4th of July. Then on to Blakesburg and Brodhead.
