pics Here are the first of pictures of
Alon N5624F. The pictures are from a cheap camera with no filter or zoom. So
the white washes out some details. As you see below the date. Jan. 14, 01. Dr
Charlie Eck and I picked it up in Byron Ca. And that is a story in it’s self.
William Bell had started the project some years ago. And did a good job to the
point where I am taking it up. She has been down on her nose
before. So we are doing some repairs that could have been done better at the
time it was put back together then. A few stiffeners behind the lower firewall
were bowed causing some dents to remain. Just removing the stiffeners pop the
dents out. As I stated before I am
going with the 30 gallon fuel tanks. With the header tank out. We are replacing
the Stainless Steel upper skin with a new skin without the filler hole. Also
found corrosion in one of the stringer behind up upper left motor mount. The top tail cone skin was
replace because of denting. Inside washed, acid cleaned and primed with epoxy
primer. It went back to the shop today to finish the cabin area. All the
controls have been removed again. And will be repainted. All the window frames are off
some to be buffed out and some painting. Counted the hours to date just
over 80. Cleaning of even surface corrosion is slow. The horizontal is apart and needs
to be reskined. (bird nets from being in the barn.) The story of picking her up is
simply. I screwed up and got the truck and trailer out in the mud. One of the
Bells friends had to bring the tractor over and pull me free. The mud is what
you see all over the Alon. Picture taken in front of my in-laws house in San
Jose. pics --------------------------------- to unsubscribe send mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ==^================================================================ EASY UNSUBSCRIBE click here: http://topica.com/u/?bz8Sid.bAhN69 Or send an email To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This email was sent to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] T O P I C A -- Learn More.
