The L2 has wings!! and Bugs home for some play~

It's been a long three years, but the L2 has been transformed from an old ignored relic to a refurbished beauty. From removing the fabric and taking it apart into what looked like a million pieces, she is like Humpty Dumpty and put back together again. Bruce has worked tirelessly on this project, learning new techniques and when problems arose, he'd have to redo it again. So much work and time dispensed... Bruce was so thrilled to get to see it start and on the first hand prop too!! Eric came home to check some of the work done on the engine and after a few corrections, they were ready for the start! Bruce needed help putting the wings on so after several friends from the airport and also Eric lifted and attached the struts, she was ready to be rolled outside of the hangar. Its an understatement to say they were excited!! Well done Dear!! Mission Accomplished!!

Bruce and Eric after all their work getting the L2 started!

Gettings things just right....

Watering anything that doesn't move!
