Tail fix
Slowly climbing out of the rabbit hole. Had to replace the Vertical rear spar and both bulkheads and make sure all was right when reassembled to make sure we did not repeat the mistake that was done the last time the tail was apart.
After months of rehab 61A is getting near the end. As usual the last 10% is 90% of the job but it is all coming together. Overhauled gear from Landing gear works…..not cheap but not bent…
My son and mechanic, Max has moved North to Alaska! His first job as an aviation mechanic not in my hanger, nothing better than Alaska for a budding mechanic. He will be missed but it also means I get to visit……..Otters, Beavers, Cessna’s, anphibs, straight floats…..What more can you ask for…
We are in the process of installing a Talian Leading edge and just completed a horizontal rebuild, it takes time…
Fabricated new inspection panels and doublers with the help of my CNC master and local machine shop…
We had a chance to fly with one of customers from Alaska and take him to a few of our local spots we like go. Had a great time.
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.
