From Ken Ramsay:
-
- Bending over to work on the F-105’s centerline pylon’s weapon mount was getting tiresome so Paul is making an assembly jig for it.
-
- Some of the Corsair landing gear parts had severe pitting on the surface. Jody said, “I can fix that”, so he did (2 photos).
-
- Dave attached the Corsair’s wing fold mechanism to the left inner wing. It looks great and works even better (5 photos)
-
- Our new member, Dakota, is helping Dennis and Ray form Corsair leading edge ribs (2 photos).
-
- The aliuminum has been glued onto one of the Cutlass’s wing access doors. Hole drilling is next.
-
- And Dan is applying the glue for the second access door.
-
- The PVC is clamped to the aluminum (top photo too).
-
- And once the PVC glue is dry the top aluminum sheet is glued to the PVC and voila, we have another access door ready for drilling.
-
- Chris Paprocki is back in town and came in for a visit.
-
- Last Monday thru Thursday noon we had our new transformer system installed. They had a little extra copper cable which Larry will recycle.
-
- We ordered a new welder so that we can weld aluminum. It arrived Saturday. Lessons will be conducted in the near future.
