Denny Siebel of Muscatine, IL sent an update on his Corben Jr. Ace project:

Thanks for your inquiry on my Jr Ace project. I purchase a damaged fuselage and a pair of damaged C-120 wings several years ago and have been attempting to build an airplane ever since.

I’m powering it with a Corvair engine that I rebuilt and converted per Wm Wynne’s manual.

The repairs are done, airframe is painted except trim stripes on fuselage, engine installed and I’m in the middle of the final assembly.

My goal is to fly it to Antique Airfield this coming Labor Day week end. Seems like all the little stuff takes a lot of time so wish me luck!
