OUR CURRENT PROJECT

Thu Oct 02, 2008 11:26 pm

Here are a couple shots of our latest project, a 1930 Waco RNF NC863V. The airplane was purchased from the estate of the late Roy Shoffner and had been in storage the last 12 years in Florida. The fuselage had the woodwork pretty well finished although we had to take alot out as we were changing it back to original and therefore had to make new floorboards, new firewall bulkheads, new baggage compartment, etc. Fuselage is now on the gear, all controls installed, seats and seatbelts installed and most of the control cables installed. Working daily to get it ready for cover before the weather gets too cold.
