Fabrication of some of the cockpit has been done. The panel for the front and rear cockpit are in place. The front glove box is a nice touch, classic interior styling on an airplane from the 1930s. You can also see the oil tank in front of and below the glove box. We put the engine on the front, and it helps to make it at least look more like an airplane for now.

Much of the woodwork has been done as well. Earlier posts show the temporary forms, now the final wood is there and looking very good. The top wing’s center section is also in place now.

Never mind baseball cards, there have been a few sets of airplane cards put out over the years. Most were of military airplanes during the cold war. But several civilian aircraft also made the cut, including one of our favorites, the Mooney Mite. Here are a couple of cards we’ve found over the years. A few years ago they came out with a new set of trading cards, saw them at Oshkosh, but never saw them again. Would be fun if they were to be popular once again.
