A place where restoration project-type threads can go to avoid falling off the main page in the WIX hangar. Feel free to start threads on Restoration projects and/or warbird maintenance here. Named in memoriam for Gary Austin, a good friend of the site and known as RetroAviation here. He will be sorely missed.

Sounds like you need a walk in the fresh air.
Just try and remember that it always works out in the end.
Getting frustrated and angry isn't going to do anything to change that.

Cof cof. Henry Gibson, here. Today's poem is called '
Inspired by a battery, and thoughts upon the circuit, short'
If you can talk with crowds and keep your temper,
Or walk with pilots egos - nor lose the volunteer touch,
if neither car-key wielding morons nor battery-banging WIXers can hurt you,
If all CAF Colonels count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of metal bashing dun,
Yours is the Hangar and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Warbird
Engineer, my son!
Apologies to Rudyard, and Gary.
