Russel,
Did you get the nose wheel from Ultraflight, or make up your own like some of us did for our series 1's? Was the sling seat an upgrade too, or did it come with it? Mine came with the awful Banana bicycle seat. Did you ever add the rudder pedals to this plane?
I'll try to did out my old pictures too, but unfortunately, I think most were slides.
BTW, I still have, drive, and enjoy the same 1978 Chevy van that I used back in 1980 to trailer my series 1. The only difference is that I had to put the emission controls back on it a few years ago when the sniffer police finally caught up with me. Now that it's legally an antique in Virginia, I'll put dual exhaust back on it when this one rots out. It ran much stronger back then with duals, cam and square bore 4 barrel. A neighbor just gave me a set of 15" Cragars, so they'll go on soon when the tires get replaced. I know vans aren't supposed to be cool, but I've loved this vehicle. Camp, tow and haul (in more ways than one) - it does it all.
