Here are some updated pics of progress on my S-1. Engine is in permanently, as is the gear, instrument panel, and fuel system. About to tie up electrical system and engine wiring. I will shortly be doing fuel flow test again per recent discussions here with a high pitch attitude. Then I will be running the engine and getting the baffling all back in. The engine has been run before. Most of the work remaining has to do with paint and then final assembly. Engine is a Great Plains 2180 with starter and alternator. Grove gear and Cleveland wheels and brakes. May sound heavy and maybe it will be but most of the weight is forward which per the history of these airplanes is good. I am fairly light at 165 lbs. We will see shortly how the W&B comes out. The wing had the S mod incorporated in construction.
