170 wings and other things
There are always planes to fix and a common fix is the left wing tip, aileron and elevator. Bou once in a while you just got to fly.
Busy as always from competing our 180J and the 170 projects, recovering the wings on the Champ, annuals, Sportsman install, Horizontal rebuilds…..
I am who I am because of my dad, my co pilot. He never was a pilot or a mechanic but when he asked me what I wanted to do with my life and I told him I wanted to be a pilot he said, “then you better be one”. He always backed me up…
Max and I flew the 170B all the way out to Oshkosh arriving Sunday as Oshkosh just turned Marginal VFR because of smoke. It seems that there was 1500 airplanes waiting for the same thing, it was truly a zoo, we were turned around twice with the instructions to go back to Endeavor and start…
We are in the process of installing a Talian Leading edge and just completed a horizontal rebuild, it takes time…
Some times you have to just have to keep on running and sooner or later you will get where you are going but only to find that you are not at the finish.
Had to go down to San Francisco to repair a Beaver, life is hard on a plane that has to sit day after day in the salt mash of the Bay. Thanks to my side kick and son we hammered it out and the customer was happy. Road repairs to plane and truck.
