So many Volunteers have done so much work.
And me without a digital camera!
The Elevators have been re-hung.
The forward gas tanks have been re-installed and the GREAT news is no corrossion was found on the inside of the wings. The team handling that was last seen installing fuel pumps and tweeking stuff.
And someone came up with the brilliant idea of taking the under-wing panels to the car wash to blast out all the scurf that had been built up there.
The Control Team (they made me stop calling them Control Freaks!
)
has been installing various replacement pulleys and making things...controllable!
DIRTY LITTLE SECRET
If you don't change the air-filters they get about the consistency of meat-loaf in their triangular holders!
But that team has been changing them and putting new blow-out panels on the air-filter holders.
The engine nacelle fire-walls on #2 and #4 have had new stainless steel stiffening panels installed.
The tailwheel assembley was swapped out for one in better condition.
The engine team has been pre-oiling and turning over the Wright Cyclones. They have a pretty spiffy cart made up with the pump to make sure the oil galleries and bearings are all oiled and the job goes extra messy!
And some inroads have been made in installing some radios and identifying the spare radios.
More replacement Gussets have been hock-bolted in.
I know I'm forgetting something BUT...
Darn... Gotta Go back to work,
