Morph and Gadget's EPH rebuild

[Boet]

Today we glued up Vliegvark jnr and snr`s wings. While waiting for the glue to dry we tackled Morphs pride and joy. Morph said: Hey jy moet starig maat. We hevent got money, ons eet net vis...." But I can not sit idle. Man`s gotta stay busy. so we started anyway. S` OK Morph, dont stress, you can pay me when you win the Lotto. The wing arent to badly damaged, couple of ribs need some attention. The fuselage does need a bit of TLC though, but not too serious. Looking forward to doing a nice job for the man!

Boet it looks like there Ain't too bad damage - What was the worst damage that the plane took

[Boet]

Perhaps the biggest dent is in the Morphmans self-confidence. But he is a big fellow, he will get over it!! We took the engine out, and only the bare frame is standing now. Next we have to get everything 100% straight again. Beiing a tubular structure, it is reasonably easy to repair. About a 400mm piece of the left bottom longeron needs replacement. The front wheel mounting tube is bent, I might have to replace that as well. The engine seems ok. The spar carry-thru also need a little tlc. 3 Ribs in the wings are broken, we have to splice in some new ply. No big deal. LH tank leaking, will need to be sloshed with tank sealer. I will be in The Fairest tomorrow.

Have a nice one.

This is why I love the BushBaby

We got seriaasly busy on the wings. Mmmmmm. Some more to do that initially meets the eye....plus a bit of re-engineering. No warries mate. The Front wheel mounting tube defies straitening, so will have to be repaced. Will be done as soon as parts ordered turns up. Morph, how do I post a picture on this confounded new antichrist thing??

.....And today we finished VARNISHING the wings. On monday the glues will all be set, and after some finishing off, we can start covering.











The Lobster, is fertile, so I am told, only once every other year
and then Mrs Lobster says: But I have a headache my dear!
and this teaches us a valuable lesson:
That is why Lobster is so expensive
At the delicatessen.

Wings ready for covering, but we need to "slosh" out the tanks with seallant compound first.

[Boet]

We modified the filler necks somewhat, now if you overfill (AKA "filling up the reserves" ) It will just spill over the top of the wing, and not INSIDE the wing! Hope you like?

Nice
