Brief Description: Sorting parts, cleaning parts, building wing cradl
|
|
Sorting parts. Basically, everthing was loaded into one of several clear pastic tubs, which are stored under the main workbench. There are so many parts, it's hard to see what I have unless I go through each tub. All the parts are really dirty, from years of sitting around in Clifford's hanger in Little Texas. Many hours cleaning and identifying parts, include sorting screws, bolts, washers, rivets, nutplates, rod end bearings, and everything else. Most of the labels are unreadable, the print has faded.
The good part is it is a referesher on the multitude of things needed to build the airframe.
First build step is to finish the emp started by Clifford. This means the elevators and trim tab. Upon closer inspection, I find some rivets that I'm not happy witth on the completed emp parts, so I will drill these out and redo.
