Right click on Start and select Explore
Browse to find your pics. (in a folder somewhere)
doubleclick on the first pic and Windows Picture and Fax viewer will open up with the pic

you can scroll though all your pics. When you get to one that needs to be rotated these two buttons rotate them. When you close down the viewer it will aks you if you want to save the changes

Select Yes.

After a busy weekend, we have engine mount and wheels roughly in place, one wing almost finished., Lots of work de-burring all the holes. dimpling the leading edges for flush rivets, installing piano hinges for flap and aileron, installing all the brackets on inside of cockpit.
Total hours at the moment about 550!
Kit says 700, I think lots more!

I could have sworn that the engine mount and wheels were still in their boxes yesterday morning. Damn that was quick

Must have been the breakfast Larry.

Ok, second wing basically complete, still need to do flaps and ailerons. Cockpit coming on, rear spar brackets tested.
Conytols for flaps etc on their way. Glare shild, fuel tank and filler section in progress.
Drilling the titanium for undercarriage. Not easy!

Very nice Uncle Mac!

Can't wait to see it fly! (or to go flying in it!)

I'm jealous!

Next time you're in JHB, I'll show you pics of the 14 yr restoration of our Piper Tripacer!
