WTF , would any one fly this !

 

 

[SDQDI]

Well in good condition it would no doubt fly (obviously would need longer wings rofl:roflmao:) but this particular example seems to be suffering from over exposure to the elements, it looks to me to have a fair few rusty patches so would need a good once over before spending good money on it. (IMHO) keeping in mind it may have to be fully disassembled to get rid of all the corrosion, a bigger job than just finishing a kit. (Again just my opinion, me being a farm boy with no qualifications that are aviation related)

Actually the Teenie Two is very well regarded by those who have flown and/or owned them, there are a couple on the RAA 19 register.

 

It looks like a lot of the hard work has been completed on this one, it could be a bargain for someone wanting a head-start on a project.

 

It's clear that all the internal components as well as the rivet holes have been treated with Zinc Chromate which is hard to get nowadays and so I doubt there would be any significant corrosion, most likely none at all even if it has been stored in the open, unless subject to constant salt spray on the coast. That zinc chromate is streets ahead of the less noxious primers that are readily available and generally used these days.
