Lower Left Wing - Pitot Tubing, Prep for Varnish, Visitors

Ted Hector, AME, checking over the ailerons - Gilbert Bourrier re-aligned the trailing edge and all joints were reglued

 Vic Prefontaine (we're working on adding accents - still a mystery on this program!) bending the pitot tubing. The tubing was re-routed straight down the front edge of the front spar to the root spar rather than crossing over mid-wing.

 Gil  Bourrier is refurbishing the aileron sprocket and chain, which will  be re-inserted in this aileron control box before covering with fabric.

 Alan Tring, Rick Riewe, Paul Dyck and Jill removed excess paint from spars, glued with T88 reinforcement blocks on the wingwalk, re-glued rib ends in aileron well by removing screws, applying glue, countersinking holes and reinserting same screws into glue-filled holes. Gil Bourrier double checked the leading and trailing edges for alignment.

 Alan Tring, CAHS Member, is aiming to fly in 100 different types of airplanes; including this Tiger Moth. Brandon CATP Museum looks forward to making Alan's dream come true and Harvey McKinnon has already taken him flying in the Museum's Harvard! Here Alan is helping mask off the metal pieces =  preping for applying the zinc chromate provided by Goulet Aircraft Supplies.

 Tom and Joyce Stoyka dropped in to see the project after being in Florida for about 4 months.

 Bill Tweed, Michael Gillespie, and Dale Trueman (lft-rht) studying the serial number on the lower right aileron.

 Rick Riewe spent several 12-hour days doing the finishing touches on preping the lower right wing for zinc chromate (metal) and varnish (wood).

 Bill Tweed, Rick Riewe, Michael Gillespie and Dale Trueman - great stories of building warbird models were inspired by the rib jigs Gil Bourrier made for the Brandon CATP Museum. Ribs will be sold in the museum gift shop to raise funds for museum projects.
