N3066E Finished and Flying!!

Post by jmurray »

After nearly two years of restoration, my Champ is now finished and flying. The credit goes to Mike Mock who spent nearly full time restoring this airplane from its total loss condition. Thanks to Mike and everyone who helped with input from this site.

Hopefully, it will be at Sun 'n Fun later this month.

John,

The years of labor are about to start paying off. She looks beautiful! You finished just in time to enjoy the great weather ahead.

Dennis,
Get a hopping! It seems like you didn't have that much to finish when I looked at it last year. If all goes well on my L16 I should make Oshkosh this year. Although the gremlins :twisted: keep popping up.

Congratulations. I'll be at Sun N Fun on Saturday and Sunday, but not with my Champ. It is still unfinished.
