VG's Homebuilt
« on: November 26, 2011, 04:31:39 AM »
I'm building a plane in the garage!  ;D These pics are from a while ago when I was working on the ribs. (Rib is rib #2.) The plane is an Acey Duecy (P-70) parasol-type single engine two-seater. Not one of the fastest types there is...
 But anyway, enjoy the pics and roll out the comments!

  • It's not an old plane, it's a classic!

Nice!  I love those classic homebuilts.  I've got a Challenger I recently finished, and will be building a Bearhawk Patrol next, but I eventually want to build a parasol or bipe.  Something like a Baby Ace or Hatz.  So keep the pictures coming!

how do you build these things? do you have a heated hangar or something?

Yep, still here in Alaska.  I do have a heated hangar now.  I keep it at about 55 degrees in the winter, But I started the Challenger in a tiny garage in a rented duplex.

Nice start VG, hope you get as much enjoyment out of building an aircraft as I did. Be warned - it is addictive - I am scheming a second project now!

We have one wing's ribs mounted on the spars now. We are currently working on the compression tubes. More pictures coming!
