Progress

Postby Stogie6 » Thu Feb 05, 2015 1:32 pm

Progress on Onex 153. Have test fitted the left and right outboard wings. Now we are starting to look like something. Should start the instrument panel and all the RDAC wiring/placement in a couple of weeks.

David,

Great looking plane! I know you have got to feel good at this point, now that it is really starting to look like a real airplane. I hope to see you in the skies soon!

Check Six!

There is another Onex builder about 150 miles East of you near Kingston, Tn. He has his panel and engine mounted and is skining the stub wings. Will fly in the Spring.

Here are a couple more progress pic's. The MGL Discovery Lite looks like it is going to be an interesting instrument. I look forward to what it can do.

Nice. The Discovery Lite looks like a perfect fit. I was thinking about the Xtreme, but seeing this...

It is a nice fit. I was thinking about the Extreme as well until I saw this puppy last year at Oshkosh. Sorry about the size of these photos (by the way).

Ok,
It has been a bit since my last photo update. In lieu of Oshkosh this year, I am going to go work on the Onex. These photos are from when my daughter went with me over the Memorial Day weekend. I think she got a kick out of it!
