Peter Stevens plane at Oshkosh:
When EAA officials pulled Peter Steven’s BH out of the AviPro booth toward the flightline, we didn’t know where they were going to park him. Well, they decided such a fine plane deserved to be parked in Air Show Central among some good company. N27PS spent the night between an F-16 & the Sikorsky Johnson Wax Amphib.

Here is Ross Hauck’s scratch built fuselage (with AviPro landing gear) standing proudly on its gear. Ross has plans #906, and lives in Montrose, Colorado.

I am a machinist/mechanic by trade and just like to build things. My wife is my # 1 supporter, she helps me drill the wing and buck rivets and is my constant companion. I have a complete machine shop at my home so metal forming, tig welding or turning parts is not a problem. Shears, brakes, presses, it’s all here.
I have been on my plans built project for almost 4 years and the wings are done except gas tanks and the fuselage is ready for paint. I’m about 8 months on it.
Pilot door and body, an 8 month journey: 8 months on the first wing, 3 on the second. There is a learning curve! I work on it in my spare time, I think I’m at about 1700 hours. Power will be a IO-470 Continental. 265 HP and a McCauly 2 blade variable speed prop. Sky light over head. I burnished my landing gear strut cylinders and chromed the shafts: no rust and a mirror surface for seals. I made male and female dies to build all my wing parts. To cut out deburr and shape took a week. I put sealed roller bearing in the control column, it’s smooth as glass and is rock solid.
I put window struts in: one push and it’s out of the way. I have more cylinders if anyone likes the idea. My passenger door, designed by Bob for me with 1944 Luscomb window frames.
