Dale and his maintenance crew crew continue to push Air Calvary's 207 restoration toward completion. Since our last blog post the damaged tail cone was removed from the fuselage and assembly of the new tail cone has begun. Also, with the new rear, wing-spar carry-through installed, the guys spent a good portion of today test fitting the wings.
Chuck, Josh, Dale, and Andy S. finish removing the 207's damaged tail cone.
Dale and Andy discuss the next step in assembling the new tail cone.
Jim, Josh, Phil, Andy, Dale, and Chuck install the 207's right wing.
Phil and Chuck secure the left wing strut in place.
After the test fit, the wings will come off again and be set aside until the final few weeks of the project. After the remaining structural repairs are completed and the fuselage has been re-painted, the wings will go back on and be rigged for its October return to service flights.
