Well both the John's departed the Rock House this morning for their respective destination.
The weather has been pretty crappy since their arrival. We did manage to get in a couple of flights and a lot of visiting and picture viewing so it was not a loss. One of the trips that we took included Big Horn Sheep that Roger ferreted out around the Alvord Desert. The flying group included Arty Trost (Drifter) and Roger Hankins from this list. John W's brother-in-law and his friend also came to visit.
We had done about all the Bull Shiping we could, so John W suggested that we might as well work on "Dart". I immediately started the heat in the hanger, The Johns and Roger started ripping and drilling, while I mostly acted as Gopher. Everything is still in boxes and I can't find a thing that I want so that was a full time job for me. We have the motor off, the fabric all off and I will be one lucky son of a gun if I can manage to get it all together again. I have tires, nose bowl, engine, and a fabric kit coming. Its too bad that I didn't have all the stuff here before they arrived or It would probably be ready for the air by next week. I am telling you those guys can get some work done!
I finally got some of the pictures from my mishap so I will include them. The only damage to the plane is the nose bowl and the piece that the rudder pedals fit over on the front of the cage. I decided that I was going to recover the plane as the fabric is more than 10 years old and we actually managed to damage the fabric bringing it out of the area that I landed in. It was a good decision as the fabric was not in good conditon at all. I will of course need a new enclosure.
I got a call from John W and he is south of San Frisco this evening.
