I am headed down to Arizona next week to pick up what I bought. If you want eyes on items you are interested in, let me know.

Got the windshield frame straightened out today, now to finish the repair to the upper cowling.

Was able to straighten the windshield frame. Took some doing, Made a fixture on a solid core table and clamped it in place. Traced the outline of the undamaged canopy to use as a reference, then coaxed the frame into shape with clamps. Had to keep moving the blocks in order to ensure the curvature of the bow matched the canopy frame. Put it back…[Read more]
