George Perks in Spokane sent an update on Larry Tobin's Stearman C3B. As you may recall Larry's Stearman suffered an engine failure two years ago in some very inhospitable terrain. Everything from the rear cockpit forward is new. George says:
The C3B is well on its way, Larry takes the pilot's seat during a break in fitting the right lower wing. He has been making great progress and his Motto is "get something done every day"! Larry has completed most of the airframe work, Ryan Pemberton did a beautiful job building new struts for the center section and is working on new sheet metal, Jim has of course, had his super talent in the task and Matt's work in rebuilding the frame is spectacular. Larry says that it will be flying by this fall, I would bet that it will be sooner after watching Larry's progress so far!
