Airplane stuff around the house (or, Gina is really a GOOD sport)


Here is one tired and scruffy but running (we were told) Continental 0-470, right off a Cessna 180.
...and here she is after some TLC and wads of money. It's a big motor, relatively speaking, for a BD-4.
Yes, we have a restaurant booth in our house, adorned with nifty Piper Comanche cowling and cool blue prop spinner.

You accumulate some interesting art objects while building an airplane, and Gina is REALLY a good sport with sharing the dining table and other areas of the house! This is an 82" Hartzell constant speed propeller---no, it doesn't leak oil on the table (yet).
