Tune in for the next episode of "GLIDERS GONE WILD!"
Have fun doing the recover - I'm sure it'll be a blast.
Leah cut out the N numbers from her glider last night. All the wood that I could see looks like it is in good shape. We'll get more wild after Thanksgiving with the knife.
So are you going to have anything flyable this season?
You're starting to sound like the redneck of gliders with a bunch of cars (gliders) in your front yard... "Well, the Pinto needs a starter... The Topaz needs a transmission..."

i should get a picture of my driveway and post. huge pile of tree debris, two glider trailers, 3 (driveable) cars.
Leah's glider and my NG-1 glider are in the garage. I need to do a little cleanup and touch up paint on the NG-1 and it should be ready for its condition inspection and then will go back in the trailer and back to the gliderport. My glider is in the other trailer. It is perfectly flyable the way it is but there are a few things I want to do to it this spring before the season gets going. Like fill in the bubbles on the leading edge and replace the wiring.

Tony, what method did you use to make the scarfs? And it appears you are making only one half of the joint...is that correct?
I just started to read this thread and your blog. I'm liking what I see so far. Cool projects.
You gotta get busy and get that dry wall up.
Lookin' good! Prime the bracket after you drill the hole... just sayin'.Last night I epoxied in the last part of the tail repair, the lower stringer. Tonight everything got a couple coats of epoxy varnish. Looking good! I guess the only thing left in this area is to finish priming the tailwheel bracket and drill a hole in the bracket for a castering wheel which is still TBD. I also varnished up the chewing damage in the left wing tonight. Next step is to figure out the new wheel/brake install and work on replacing the control cables. Leah is still working on sanding and filling in a few spots.
