As of this morning, the Stinson now has a FAA Airworthiness Certificate! This is a huge step and the last big one needed to get the Stinson in the air again. there’s still things to do, but you can count them on one hand now.
But we almost finished the headliner today. Just some nip and tucks left.
Glueing the headliner in and fitting the instrument panel cover.
Worked some more in the headliner. It’s coming together, just slowly.
The photos are not in any order.
Working on the headliner. I made new ribs for it as I couldn’t get the originals to fit well. I also took out the front windshields to make it easier to install. We’re not finished yet, but getting closer.
One of the bottom cowling cups needed to be replaced, so we did that today.
We also finished with the landing light cover installation.
And we double checked the wing bolt torque and the fuel line hoses so we can finally button up the wing trim pieces.
Started with installing the propeller for good. At least until I buy a wooden prop.
Also, started installing the headliner. Didn’t finish it as I need some clips to help hold it up while I get it installed.
Too busy this weekend to do much on the Stinson. Next weekend will be nicer and we will try to finish up a lot of items on my list. I didn’t take any photos, but Marie did.
Remaining steps left to finish the Stinson:
