Rebuild – crack on

It’s been a bit busy at work but lots going on behind the scenes with the rebuild.

Will has started the build of the new upper Starboard wing and we have salvaged some key parts to speed things along.

Algy has done an amazing job of repairing the Port upper that had only 2 ribs damaged.

The LAA have been amazing and Ben there has responded in super quick time with approvals for the repair and the new engine.

Engine mount in place and rubbers arrived with bolts so hopefully fit tomorrow

I have started to prep the edge ribs that sit either side of the (new) upper dump tank, fitting one side, as the mounting plates were still in place.

I’ve started to fit the upper tank filter and step down adaptors and will be shaping the trailing edge balsa when both end ribs are in place.

It looks like I need to make some doublers for the upper cabane ribs, to provide a larger surface area for Oratex fitting.

Wing peg bolt fittings will follow soon
