waraton Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Lightwing GR 912 25-698 is being masked up ready for painting tomorrow. Wheels back on, tail feathers going back on ...very exiting and I know we've said it a few times but it won't be long now. A new bird in the huge blue skies that smile over our Silver City. Bruce C and Peter J on the job this week. Will be as good as new and will be worth the wait. Go Bruce! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waraton Posted April 8, 2017 Share Posted April 8, 2017 Lightwing GR 912 25-698 Half-way through Prep-Sol clean up preparing for paint earlier today. WARNING - you may need to seat yourselves before scrolling down further to see the job Mike has done on our classic Australian made machine. I did give notice this was hot, looking awesome! 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waraton Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Lightwing GR 912 25-698. Today Bruce got the brakes and main wheels installed. Here I am doing a final clean-up of the firewall before the engine gets installed in the next week or so. Tail wheel assembly tomorrow then she will be back on her own feet for the first time in a long while. 698 seems to be straitening her posture and has the start of a smile appearing now we are on the home stretch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
