Finally, the engine is back on the plane! Last weekend, we borrowed an engine hoist and trucked the engine back down to the airport. With the hoist, it was pretty easy to guide it into place and bolt it up.

The engine being guided into position on the accessory plate. This has to be done carefully since the trigger magnet for the secondary ignition has to pass through a hole in the stator.

The Aerovee is bolted back in place, almost 5 months after it came off.

That was all we had time to do, though, but at least now I can go down there by myself when I get a free moment and start hooking everything up.
