Weedhopper coming to Propwash…

This week I will “finally” be transporting my weedhopper project to propwash. It’s pretty much done. I’m still down a few bolts, but my hope is that I can bring it out there and meet up with Jeff Mountain to get a few bolts, and have others take a good look at it to make sure everything is in line. The photos below don’t show a whole lot as the airplane doesn’t really look like an airplane without the wings installed.

    Hi Jeff,
    Very good project! Do you have any email to contact you? I think this is a very good ultralight airplane.

    Juan.

    It’s easier just to go to this link on our website. All club officers or those with strange jobs (I’m the webmaster) get a nifty contact page – http://dfwliteflyers.org/hangertalk/sitemap/contact-jeff-erekson/

    Or you can type my address into your email client. To avoid spam garbage I don’t make my email as a link that is easily read by spam bots. jeff(at)ereksonfamily.org

    Hey Jeff E. You met me yesterday in your hangar when I was talking to you about buying your weedhopper. I hope to come see it later this week!

  • Jeff says:

    I will be out quite a bit this week (or so I believe). I have a few little bugs to work out.

    I need to fix the oil leak on the Sonex once and for all and get the weedhopper all assembled. I’m having issues with 2 drag/anti-drag tubes on the wing that don’t seem to want to go into place.

    Ok. Sounds good.. Whenever I see you next, I want to talk to you about that weedhopper and ask you a question…
