Like George said... I had a group of sail plane people I worked last year with. they soda blasted every thing....Not impressive. if you still need to clean up after, bead, or walnut shell sounds better to me.....Just saying... I only liked the idea of dry-ice cuz there's no clean up, if you are only...

I saw dry-ice blasting being done on the Memphis Belle, at the Air-Force museum in Dayton. Have no idea of the cost... But cleaned, and looked wonderful!

[quoteLogbooks are guarded like greenbacks, because owners KNOW they represent the value of their aircraft. So, unless the logs SUBTRACT from the aircraft's value....they are almost NEVER genuinely "lost".[/quote] That's so true, George. But a log book can be (manufacturered) if that is th...

My wife reads this, shrugs her shoulders, and say's, "you guys are pigs"....I can't think of anyone that would disagree.

Just cool, Bruce.....Thanks...From all of us who aren't military.....

I like what I'm reading.... if nothing is held in place, with any type of structural clamp.....Where is a 337 or STC needed?

Well,that's the way i was thinking ,Del...... Dave, a PK is just a hardware piece......Has to help in the integrity of the item being held.....Just my thoughts..

On a serious note, would a good epoxy, and a single PK (to hold the epoxy in place while it cures) screw, on each end constitute an STC? All are minor.

That's funny, Del. The best I had was an old 70 LTD, I used as a work car....It was dubbed the four toned, for door, Ford...Every door was from another car....and another color than the base color of the car. I can't remember what happened to It.

No it wasn't Frank. He was next to me...I know cuz Dad sold Frank his 28 the following spring. Yep the Minnesota accident was just that , a tragedy. A wonderful fellow, Some one I'll miss... Frank had a partner in his endeavors here in Dwight....Had problems with the partner and pulled out.....That ...

All this reminds me of the flight Darrel, a friend of mine, about Dad's age, and I took down to Guntersville AL. It was 1992, and Dad had just finished his Nuieport 28. Darrel and I were chasing Dad in Darrel's 1956 172. Darrel had just received his pilots license, and was eager to make a real cross...

I knew you would like the color, George
