Regarding the Coffman starters I remember my first instructor in A&P school telling us that as 19 year old mechanics in WW2 when they couldn't get an FM 2 started they would get a cartridge for an F6F which had something like twice the powder and somehow cram that into the FM 2 starter. If you couldn't get it started with one of those there was something else wrong beside technique!

Here are some more pictures that I've taken more recently. We now have stub wings on and we rolled it out of the hangar for the first time the other day.

















I'll have more pictures up in another post here soon.

Thanks for the update Conrad, I appreciate you taking time to share your progress with us. This is a great project. I dont think your Wildcat looked that good when it left the assembly line when new.

Have you chosen any markings for this aircraft yet?
