Mr. Ratinaud and crew of Cadets managed to have the engine running for 30 Minutes. (see video below)
After 30 minutes the engine slowly came to a stop. It was discovered during our trial run the heads cracked. Mr. Ratinaud will evaluate the engine and start to remove the heads during the next work day.
The cabin floor stringers are being put in place using white oak. We original were using red oak and maple from some old pallets. It was decided that we should spend the $80.00 on White Oak. White oak tolerates wet area's better and will take longer to rot.
OUR NEXT WORK DAY IS FEBRUARY 12 FROM 9:00 - 3:00
