Yes, we got together tonight, Heck we
even worked a little.
Our first item for the night was to
install the new piston ring that we broke so long ago. Guess what, this was
the second time they sent a ring and it is still the wrong one. On the
phone once again we go. They claim they will have the right one sent to us
this week. (Really?)
Next we went back to the flaps and
checked the throw. Not the same throw between the two flaps so we spent
some time adjusting the linkages.
So what are we going to work on next?
The magic finger landed on the ailerons. We did some final sanding on the
ailerons then applied Balsa-rite to them. While the Balsa-rite was drying,
I questioned Rick about the broken door handle on my truck and how to
replace the new one I already have. Well before I knew it we were working
on the door. This didn’t take too long and the balsa-rite was good and dry
when the door was finished.
So back to the project we go. We covered
one aileron and were admiring it when we figured out it is getting late. So
we once again call it a night.
It was really good to be working again,
however, next work night is the 4th of July and we will be
spending time with our families instead of building.
