The day of the first flight! All smiles under a sunny sky!

Rick Hansen's Tizzy Too is in the background.

Getting ready for Oshkosh! Final assembly.

Cutting capstrips for Dad. Absolute concentration is required for this job.
Also, no loose clothing.

OSHKOSH, '98:

Notice how while everyone else is watching something to the right, these Hatz Nutz are in a huddle. It's all in how you set your priorities.

OSHKOSH, '98:

A beautiful shot of Concord through the wings of the Hatz.
To the dismay of the Concord crew, Dale wouldn't let them park next to New Vintage.

The New Vintage Crew early in the construction.

The New Vintage Crew toward the end of construction, adjusting wing dihedral. Note how the airplane has become somehow older.

OSHKOSH, '98:

Detail of the front hole. The embroidered glovebox cover caught the judges eye.

OSHKOSH, '98:

A Rolls-Royce O-200, built under license of Continental. Same engine, spiffier rocker boxes.

No, it's not documented evidence of child labor in the garment industry. It's the New Vintage Crew hard at work sewing the covering.
Where the heck is Dad while all this work is going on?

Dale proves that the Hatz is such a fine airplane that you don't even need all of it for low-level flight! He also shows that his flies 50% hands-off at this stage of construction.

NOTE: he lightened the seat considerably on the final aircraft.

The women in Dale's life at the end of a successful coup. Wife and daughter displace Dale from the cockpit of the Hatz.

The New Vintage Crew displays the spinner-thingy ornament that will adorn the nose of the Hatz.

So many ribs, so little time.

Dale's daughter clamps down on unruly capstrip and gussets
