Check out the fuselage construction- it's classic. Very nice shop practices as well.Me, I spent a few hours working on repairs to 41CC. Pulled out the old ignition wiring and pulled in some shielded tefzel wire, in hopes of eliminating radio noise. Also pulled out the old carb heat control and am installing a new one. Varnished some of the wood repair parts in preparation for reassembly of the fuel tank and firewall.I needed an angle bracket to mount the new carb heat knob. What is really fun is when you need a bracket or part, just stepping into the shop, rummaging around to find a piece of wood or metal that looks right, cutting and grinding/sanding to shape, drilling the holes and countersinks, cleaning it up, a little paint, and -voila! Hang it up to bake and tomorrow it's ready to install. I made a bracket for the knob out of a piece of lightweight angle in the scrap bin, and now I have a nifty piece of an airplane. I love this experimental homebuilding stuff. Makes you feel sorry for the spam can guys who have to pay $$ for a TSO label on each part.Oscar ZunigaSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net________________________________________________________________________________
