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. This project has been stagnant, and it was recently decided that we need to put this aircraft on a priority list.
Stay tuned for photos that will follow as the project progresses.
