Made you look!! ;D

No, it's just old 94H, the club's Schweizer 2-33... all the fabric has been removed, and we spent some time removing just about everything from the fuse frame so the steel could be inspected and treated (and eventually repainted). Main wheel, vertical stab, tailwheel, cables, control sticks, pulleys, fairleads, etc, etc.

Looks like you still have a little bit of work to do before you can take her to the sky again  ;)

Now that sure is a sad sight. Can't wait to see her all put back together though. ;)

Sean, did you save the skin, or are you just getting some new stuff?

You really can't re-use that stuff, even if it's in good condition. Which this covering was not. ;D

And she'll be cleaner, a little lighter, and will probably at least seem to fly better. ;D Very exciting.


Better throw on some racing stripes and take off the muffler just to be sure. ;)
