Restoration Update…

The HAPS 1931 Fleet Model 8 biplane is making progress toward flying again. Recent engine work includes:
New rocker arms
New hoses
Overhauled carb
Refurbished magnetos
And lots of other work…

BIG THANKS to Doug Platten for all his great work. He has invested a huge number of hours to restore the airframe and engine. His experience and passion for the project is greatly appreciated.

The new prop from Sensenich has been installed for a test fit. This new wooden propellor is a beautiful, honey-colored work of art.

The next step is an engine test run. Stayed tuned for more updates.
