| "The Great Punkin" - Franklin 220 Conversion |
| Above: New aft baggage bulkhead with swing-up door for easy battery access. Below: Aft baggage bulkhead door "swung up". Door will secure to the hat rack using a strap and snap apparatus. Hmmm... poetry in motion . |
| Below: Fitting the bottom cowling |
| To the right: three angles of the custom lower cowl access hatches. 10-32 sheet metal screws will secure each hatch. Note - there is enough room to get at the oil sump easily. Oil changes will be possible without removing the cowl. A definite bonus. |
| Below and right: The classic lines of the '52 cowling and nose bowl are maintained. The only difference is that spinner and propeller are a little bigger than the original. |
| Right: Franklinstein... "Its Alive!" ...and yup - thats a 1952 Cessna 195 in the backdrop. Punkin's big sister! Bottom right: Punkin RTBs from the successful glitch-free test flight. Bottom left: One last inspection by Gregg before she's allowed to leave the nest! |
