New Trainer for a youth
« on: July 01, 2010, 09:21:45 PM »
We have a new guy that started flying with us. He has to work out of town all week and comes home on weekends. He has very little free time. I have fixed him up with a few hand me downs and now he wants to get his son a plane.

Arlan had a mishap with his Tutor II and offered it up. I volunteered to repair the Tutor because I had nothing on the build table and I knew our new guy had very little free time.

Here are a few before and after photos. All I need to do is finish the nose and put the hardware back on. We have a LA 40 going in for power.
I hope to have it ready by the end of the weekend.

You're a decent guy and an asset to the promotion of C/L.
Hope the good karma does the full circle for you!

Thanks Z-Man,
I can not take credit for the ribs, as I called my Tech support guy and he told me how to make new ribs without taking the wing apart. And thanks for donating the NVA for the engine!

The youths name is Tyler and he came over last night to see the plane for the first time. He is stoked! #^


Zuriel is my Tech support guy. H^^
