9/18/09 Engine Installation

Naturally, I didn't have the camera out in the 'hangar' with me, but we got the engine attached to the front of the airplane. I screwed an eyebolt to the ceiling, attached a come-along, wrapped a strap around the engine and hoisted away. We had to open up the large washers that attached to the engine mount, but that was about it. We're still waiting for the VA215 that's been backordered, but I called Vans and they said it'd be sent out in about 2 weeks and that another CARE package is going to be sent out on Monday. We can move around a lot better since we rearranged the garage.
More tomorrow.
