Fabric has been removed from the aircraft and some of the control surfaces are being prepared for re-covering. An inventory is in process in order to determine what is needed. Due to the expense of buying all necessary parts and materials, it is generally felt that it might be more economically feasible to purchase a similar aircraft for parts than to buy them individually. A search is in process for such an aircraft.
Stay tuned for photos that will follow as the project progresses.
