    Almost Ready to Fly

    Been rebuilding this Pacer for a while now and we are down to the leading edge wing root fairings and weighing it. Figured out my medical expired end of Feb. so I am off to see the doc in the am.

    Nice! But you gotta get the 8.5x6 tires on it. It looks odd with the 6x6s.

    I'm with you Steve....I just put 29's on a Pacer and now my 26" Goodyears look like roller skate wheels.

    "Wedding White" looks really nice. Is that Eddie Trimmers L/H door?

    Answer : So they match the rest of the kitchen appliances!

    Yes, it is Eddie's left hand door. Pretty handy. I will post a report on installing the door in a seperate thread with some time saving tips. You know how the learning curve is on the first one.

    29's and a left hand door. Adding 'em to the to-do list. Is the "patrol door" on the right-hand side an STC?

    Owner did that. Replace aluminum with Plexiglas. No change in structure so I see it as a minor modification.
