stingray
Line Up and Wait
I almost got done with the Vikings' annual today. The tires I ordered where wrong (My fault) I ordered a 15/600x6 instead of I guess 600/600x6. I already had one 600x6 I was trying to match a Good year flight special II. Now I have to reorder. New tubes where wrong too.
I re-weighed the plane because I took so many of the old radios out along with a lot of wiring and ADF antennas. I was hoping for a lighter plane. come to find out I was 100# heavier than last time it was weighed. I think the last owner painted it without removing the old paint. I used those fancy electronic scales that cost $3,000.00 so I am hoping they are correct. It is hard to believe after all the stuff I took out that it is still 100# heavier. From the factory it was 1893# now it is 2135#. I may look into this more and find out where the extra weight came from. Maybe a strip and re-paint is in order.
