| Murray Bryson and his good friend, Paulette, dropped by to see how we were making out. Both of their father's had trained in Tiger Moths 70+ years ago in Ontario! Paulette joined the Tiger Moth Restoration Team! |
Al Tring, a member of the CAHS and retired from Standard Aero is a regular member of the Tiger Moth Restoration Team - he meticulously cleaned all the metal fittings and leading edge.
Al Tring, Jill Oakes, and Rick Riewe masked off the metal pieces and prepared to paint them with green metal primer "Tough Coat" from Goulet Aircraft Supply.
Maurice April and Rick Riewe removed the masking material after a night of Zumba Dance-Exercising.
George Inman prepared the new rib caps from Sitka Spruce donated by Jim Goold, Gil Bourrier, and Bill LeBrun. George donated some more of that awesome sanding paper!
Peter Moodie had an hour to spare so dropped in to help - he cleaned the aileron control cables that had been soaking in varsol. They looked like new after he worked on them. We then soaked them in LPS1 overnight and wiped them with a dry cloth.
George Inman painted the drag and anti-drag wires on all 3 wings with "Tough Coat" green metal primer.
Once the paint was dry, George tied on the wire separators with waxed thread and a knot he uses in electrical wiring - it is really tight and impossible to unravel.
