What Cheered You Up Today? (1 Viewer)

I bought a lot of kits about 3-4 years ago to get me through retirement

Did the same thing some 19 years back had a huge stack but it ran out some 9 years back. Now I have to scout around and thank goodness for the web.

A story from my son at the X-Mas meal : his platoon of reservists was on guard duty at an ammo depot the week before X-Mas.
As his squad's 2IC and on duty one night at the gate, they were hassled but some drunkard, with a nasty behavior. Following procedure, after several warnings, and menaces with the club, he had to tear gas the guy and report to the officer of the day (of the night in this case).
It happened this was an adjudant serving in the depot (the equivalent of your dreaded sergeant major).
He was sent to the sobering up cell.

Maybe he takes after his mother?

Took the youngest over to the warehouse with me this afternoon and got the L-5 fuselage loaded on the trailer, and moved home. Will unload tomorrow and slide it in the garage. Then time to start temporary stuffing it, so I can build wiring harnesses. Progress after all these years of being in storage!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

Sounds like a long and big project.

 

[cvairwerks]

Vic: An L-5 isn't too complicated. I can stuff a fuselage for final assembly in a matter of two or three long days, depending on if the original radios are going back in. The harnesses take a few days by themselves to lay in and terminate the forward end and then dress and terminate the rest. Covering the frame takes much longer, and in my case, I need to build new wings also. For this project, everything is going back in and it will take several months due to having to fabricate all of the canvas covers and boots. I'm not a great seamstress, so it takes time.

Are Ceconite kits still available for covering wings?

 

[Vic Balshaw]

I trust were going to be treated with some "before, after and in progress" pics of this renovation.

He better do that!

 

[Vic Balshaw]

An intriguing project that would be both fun and interesting to see the progress.

Ed: Don't know, as we've never used the kits before on the dozen or so L-5's I;ve been involved in.

Will definitely post some photos as things progress.
