C-ILHC "India Lima Hotel Charlie" Under Construction

 Click on the dots for construction photos of that part of the plane.  Due to some lawsuit between Microsoft and another company Active X Controls don't work the way they used to, so you may have to click on this photo before the hover dots will work.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

    

  

Courtesy of the advance Registration Mark reservations program offered by Transport Canada, Mike's Challenger has already been named after his Dad's Skymaster (C-FLHC)!  Challenger II Charlie - India Lima Hotel Charlie is getting closer to flying!  

We have found a number of very useful sites on the internet with great information on building Challengers and have included some links to these sites on this page - we are actually more concerned about getting the airplane built, so the site will understandably lag real progress!

Our aim on this page is to NOT re-create every other site, nor in any way to take the place of the manual.  These are just photos of our own general construction progress for those who wish to follow along, and (more importantly) close ups of areas where we haven't seen other published photos. 

With the exception of a few upgrades, C-ILHC is pretty much stock.  This Challenger will be getting a lot of miles visiting fly-ins, community events, parades, and outdoor, farm and recreational shows, so we wanted her to be free of any "modifications", although she will have quite a few approved aftermarket accessories! 

Please enjoy these pages and be sure to write if you have any questions or comments.  Building any airplane is a journey of love, and it takes time.  Even though the Challenger is a very fast build, we have found out that life still happens and throws you some curves and some joys alongside the building that have to be taken in stride.  We've included a few of our own trials and tribulations on these pages that have slowed us down, but never stopped us from completing the building of our dream.
