I did my part for the extraordinary effort to fly this weekend. I had my engine removed from the plane on Tuesday evening and started taking it apart in the evenings and mornings the rest of the week. I received a new crank shaft from WW on Friday. At 9 pm Friday I finished the tear down and started the rebuild with a nitride crank. I worked until 10 pm Saturday stopping for breakfast, lunch, and supper with the kids. 7 am today a couple more hours before Church and a couple more after Church and it was off to the airport. The engine is back on the plane and basically reinstalled. Another couple hours tonight to prime the oil, check timing and make sure everything is tight. Then I should be ready to run it to check for leaks in the morning and if that is good it will be first flight time tomorrow. Joe Horton, Coopersburg, Pa. [email protected]
