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. :wink:
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. :D

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. ;)
