Varnishing Lower Left Aileron





The lower left aileron needed the trailing edge straightened, cap strips re-glued and fabric wraps removed to avoid trapping moisture. It is now finished with three coats of varnish and is curing for at least 7 days before covering with fabric. The part numbers, identification plate, and original hand written drawing number were documented in preparation for covering. Thought you might enjoy seeing what these 70+ year-old markings looked like...once its re-covered, these markings will be hidden again for who knows how many more decades.
