The Chad 206 Has Wings

It was an exciting day in the hangar yesterday as Dale's team hung the wings on the Chad 206. The process of hanging wings isn't too complicated but it does take some muscle, some time, and some patience on the part of those holding the wings in place until the fittings are connected, the wing bolts are in place and the struts are secured.




This is a major milestone in the restoration of the airplane and clears the way for rigging the flight controls, completion of the instrument panel, engine installation, and the attachment of wingtip fuel tanks.

The engine is in the crate.
