Sitting on the Wolf Pitts gear.

New rudder outline.

New ply ribs

New battery - PC680

Tailwheel mounted to new spring. One rudder rib done.

One more rib...

Finished rudder

New squared off elevator tips.

Better view of all the new tail parts.

New ribs dry fit on lower right wing. Getting ready to install.

Good view of the spar splices for the extensions.

New cabane stiffener installed and welded

Gear legs painted. These won't be seen after the pants and fairings are installed.

New lap belt bracket installed. Needs to be drilled and rounded.

Two new ribs glued in with corner blocking.

Seatbelt attachment points.

Old battery mount. This is about to be removed and replaced with an aluminum box mount for the PC680 battery.

The old battery mount that was welded to the back of the seat.

The PC680 battery box and the aluminum that will attach it to the seat back. Still some work to do.

Cardboard mock-up of the new smoke tank from Smoking Airplanes. It's looking like it will fit fine.

I had already pulled the fuel tank back out when these pictures were taken, but it does work with the fuel tank installed.

New rudder with dimensions.

Small gusset to support rear outside corner of the heel trays. Still need to install the nut plate.

The first of four mounts for the new battery installation.

This is where it will go on the seat back tubes.

Battery mount with the seat back in place.

Shows the master solenoid location.

Shows the new tabs that were added to support the aluminum mount plate.

It's tight, but there is enough clearance between the fuel tank and the new smoke oil tank.

Not a good picture, but this shows the stand-off strap for the tail spring bolt.

Tie-in behind the seat for the long diagonal belly tube. The only purpose for this 3/8" tube is to raise the natural harmonics for the diagonal.

Buzz Aero wobble pump and new ACS high pressure gascolator.

The pump fits the mount, but the ports aren't in the same spots as the old D2 pump. On the D2, the output port was high and the input port was low. Now the input port has clearance issues with the front seat tube. The problem has been solved, but it's still a close fit.

Back of the new pump. The slot at 4:00 on the back is for adjusting the output pressure.

The new ACS high pressure gascolator. Lighter and much smaller than the old Purolator part.

Corner gussets on rudder and elevators.
