It only took a couple of days to disassemble this airplane but putting it back together is like working on an erector set with limited pictures.
The front wheel and rear braces were attached but were not meeting the holes in the engine stand. To solve this problem the seat was removed. this gave some ease to the brackets but then the lower brackets kept torquing and twisting the frame.
Similar problems were encountered in attaching the rear wheels.
 |
| This is the rear wheel after attachment. |
 |
| To attach the wheels weight was added to frame to align the the axels. |
 |
| The tire is being lined up with the axel but care is taken not ruin the threads |
 |
| At the top you can see the seat is removed yet the oak boards are several inches short of the engine stand brackets. |
 |
| It takes several hands to align the seat to the bolts. |
 |
| It still a struggle to get the bolts lined up. |
 |
| The brackets are taken off and re-set |
 |
| Dan takes a seat . |
 |
| Doug finds the new seat rewarding. |
