Repairs done on the Tiger Moth (20060423)

After a looong winter and some repairs the Tiger Moth is finally ready for take off again.


Yesterday I finished repairing my Tiger Moth (since I crashed it in a take off autumn 2005). This is what I have done with it:
  • Fixed the upper and lower wings because they snapped right off in the crash.
  • A new spur wheel have been mounted the old one broke off.
  • New Sullivan flexible push rods for rudder and elevator
  • The fiberglass in the cowling where to thin and had cracked up, I added a couple of extra layers of fiberglass and polyester. Because the surface had cracks I added gelcoat filling and smothed it off.
  • I have painted the whole aircraft to more look like the colors of the 1940's Swedish Airforce Sk11 trainer Tiger Moth
I also have been flying with it same day, it was better than ever!

On the field again at last!
