[Fighting 14]

Here is 74" prop on a Jungster.

1700 RPM checking elevator control and CG while holding brakes into a 15 knot wind.

Heck, if you are doing that,…

No, it's not ready to fly yet......... I need longer prop bolts which nobody has in stock, and this prop has an issue which cannot be fixed. I am shopping for an airworthy prop. I am not flying behind this one, ............but it proves going to this prop will work. All in good time. We are almost there. Patience.

There's a very nice Jungster on Barnstormers , O-200 Continental . $11,000.00

oh man you are so close to flying her!!!
Hope you find a prop to buy soon.

I’m forming up the finger straps for the interplane struts at the moment, swept wings sure do make everything a little more work.

Could you post a link. I searched but didn’t find it

BARNSTORMERS.COM Find Aircraft & Aircraft Parts - Airplane Sale, Jets, Helicopters, Experimental, Warbirds & Homebuilt. I think this is it.

New prop was ordered last Monday. Consumer demand is up so much that the supplier told me today they are buried with shipments needing to be packaged. It will be a week and a half tops before it will ship. Prop bolts are on the way.
Winter is on us here. Wolves came by last night and the big game are headed lower. This is the time for getting out and hiking while we wait for the prop.

 

[Dominic Eller]

Hope it shows up early! I’m gagging for you to fly her!

Heck Dominic, I'm looking out the window at snow coming down and the temp is -10 C. Me fears it gonna be awhile before it will be comfortable flying open cockpit. The end of December and early January we can easily see -30 C.
Hopefully I'll get a warm day. I'll do my best for you.

Some snow pack on the runway would be good, much like landing on grass. Think snow!

 

[Fighting 14]

It's all good!!!

 

[Fighting 14]

We used to be able to do this until the Forest Service told us we could not land on frozen lakes anymore. Why is it that snow machines can run all over the place but we can't? It sure was fun especially on black ebony ice on a calm sunny day.

To clarify, the video is not here in Wyoming. Not sure where it was taken.

 

[Dominic Eller]

Fingers crossed for a weather anomaly that lets you fly soon!
Regarding the frozen lake thing, why is it that aircraft get singled out like that! Here we have to have 1million fire insurance to land where anyone can take a 4wd.
What’s more crazy is on DOC land (dept of conservation) aircraft are not allowed to refuel ! But 4wd can!

I’m not getting a heap of time in the garage lately, I must make more effort to finish these struts!
Finished shaping the 1st strap so at least now I have a process

Shaping .063 sheet is a bit of a pain, .049 would have been nicer and likely ok as it’s .049 strut, but plans say 1/16 finger straps
Looks like I could be in for a long wait until I get a replacement length of streamline tube for the bogus one ACS sent I’ll make do with the modified original until it arrives.

 

[Fighting 14]

We build sailplanes out of composites. I wonder if you could fabricate an N-strut or I-strut from composites? Probably easier to just wait for the steel. Yep the supply chain is slow. Hope you get your materials soon. Carbon fiber streamline tubing. Hmmmmm. Yea that's the ticket!!
