California Smelly...yak 2

I guessed correctly on the dolly height and successfully installed the wings with the landing gear installed.
Of course, the winglet and stabilizer were unnecessary for the test.....but.........

I would have installed the other wing but I spent too much time ogling and it got dark........

Waiting for paint to dry.....

Trying to to keep the early morning towing Grass / Mud off the bottom of my pretty wings.......the Bidule170 gets some great racing stripes.

[MarnochS]

Fenders.......



Got the basic shape and made a pattern to "try" to reproduce the six needed,

Great Scott!! Dual use landing gear, tricycle and tail dragger at the same time. Looks good Scott.

Easy mobility now



I'll have to test wing installation and see if I got the correct height..

The 120K canister installation

Thanks Scott

Hi Steve,
The 120k are less restrictive on the exhaust flow and they are the one's DA recommends ( in the short version ) for the 150/170.
On the MTW website the 80K is listed for cylinders 50 - 62ccm (max) while the 120k is for 70 - 95ccm.

Scott,

Why did you choose the MTW 120K? 150cc divided by two is 75. So why not the MTW 75K or the 80K?

Almost........its a value-orientated Chrysler Voyager 2020 that I'm playing host to for a couple of months. Its a great storage area for the Cmelak Wings.

Apparently I have a big animal in the yard.......looking my way......

Pacifica? New work vehicle?

[MarnochS]

On the practical side of moving around a Fuselage without landing gear.....the Bidule 170 seemed like a good reference point. I think I'll be able to tip it back and install the wings.......

Finally worked up the courage to separate the cowl from the fuselage......
Started out scoring the seam line to try to keep the paint from pealing up.




The Stare down....but my Inspector seems unconcerned.
