Ready to Roll...

Procrastinate no more! I finally got out to the airport to install the long-awaited nose-wheel upgrade. The airplane was ably protected by our trained attack bunny. By quite a few actually. They're all over the Nanaimo airport.
France got to work while I took care of the important task of visiting with the many local, very friendly pilots.
Peter owns this yellow beauty in the background. It is a combo of a CH601 forward fuselage, an RV4 tail end an under the hood you'll find a Czech LOM 120 hp aviation engine. Peter says he's cruising at 130 knots! That's impressive. He's done a fine job.
My next job will be getting the bird droppings cleaned off, the annual inspection completed, and then it'll be time to fly! Again. At last.

Never turn your back on those killer-attack bunnies!

I know! They'll munch you like salad in an instant! not... Actually I think the airport mainly just ignores them because if they get too close runways, etc. the eagles get them.
