Not duct tape, but ordinary masking tape as shims prior to pop riveting.

The "Belle" had duct tape on her control surfaces; It seemed to work just fine!

Ok then, what happens whrn the take gets old and dries up?

Guys, I visited Rio Hondo in September of 2000, and saw the FW-190s.

I recall what in my inexperienced opinion, was shoddy work.

I did not know for example, that sheetmetal overlapped on airframe skins, and the size of the screws I saw were completely odd.

I shot several photos but alas, they came out way too dark for me to do anything with them (I had no flash).

At the time, I thought that it was a waste of time and money to be doing such a poor restoration work.


Saludos,


Tulio

That is the reason why the Norwegians were very displeased when they got the A-3 back again, and the reason it is now back with Mark Timken

I'm guessing it's the one her in San Antonio, which was "reunited" with it's pilot sometime in the 80s or 90s. I believe he actually survived a drop without his parachute opening due to landing in snow.

BTW- I was told that the FW-190 in SA will not be restored to flying condition and that inside it's not so nice. A friend of mine has sat in the cockpit though and thought it quite fun.

The pilot of the San Antonio aircraft, Rudi Linz was killed when it went down. The pilot of White 1 ( Mark Timken), Heinz Orlowski, is alive and has visited the aircraft, signing the rudder.
AFAIK there was never any thought in restoring the S.A. A-6 to flight, or even engine running condition....the Storch was though, but is not part of the Saxonwold Museum exhibition.
