Over the next few months, I will be playing catch up. It has been almost 8 years since I posted anything about the build. A lot has happened since then.
Most of these posts will simply be pics by month or week until I get caught up. I will try to add some descriptions where i can.
Back in July of 1998, my father and I took a trip to Oshkosh Wisconsin during the annual EAA Convention currently called “AirVenture.”
At the convention, he bought a Murphy Super Rebel home built aircraft kit.
This is the Murphy Moose. The Moose is the “beef’d” up version of the Super Rebel.
I am going back through all of our pictures and notes and will be posting many of these to document the build process. This is to satisfy the FAA 51% rule on homebuilt aircraft.
Same process for left wing. Attach brackets and attach aileron / flap
Adding fiberglass wing tip to the left wing
Adding some framework to support the wing tip
Cutting the fiberglass
Attaching it to the wing
Riveting skin down to the spar. Wing has been leveled and strapped down to the stands to maintain position
Attaching aileron/flap brackets
Using fish line to assure all the brackets are in perfect alignment
Mounting aileron and flap
Lots happening to the right wing in July
Riveting on the bottom skin
Securing the fuel tank
Closing up for the final time
Riveting on the top skin
Bolting on the root rib with holes for the fuel lines
Cutting out landing light opening, fabricating a lens frame, and attaching it
Access panels for right wing
Right wing strut mount
