Hello Folks:

Anyone else got the restoration blues? Man, I think I've turned one bolt too many this week. Too many sub-projects within subprojects. It's endless fun..

Hi

I recently went to New Zealand and the Subrinski's made me welcome at their Facility near Auckland. The amount of work that went into a special tool/machine to roll the special octagonal tubes for the main spars was absolutely amazing. Took years to construct just to produce one item - WOW

Making tooling, huh? What kind of tooling are you making? Actually that should be pretty fun, becasue you can be creative.

Setter, I've seen your webshot photos, and it looks like those guys downunder are cranking pretty hard on those Hiens.

Hi Chris

Yes the Hiens are making good progress - with 4-5 to build on top of all the other stuff plus some new aquisitions on the way they will have to be getting on with a lot of things down there !!!!! 30 plus aircraft in the rebuilds !!!!!

Hi Tom:

A project is a lot of work, and not always fun to deal with.
