'Hi Frank,
How's the headliner and side panels coming along? In regards to the lower longerons, I offer some experience having gone through this process a year ago when we were covering the fuselage. It would be wise to at least scuff sand the frame to where the longerons will attach. I'm not sure ...

But don't,under any circumstances,pigeon hole us older guys as a group who take short cuts to preserve/misrepresent our beloved aircraft. We have worked to preserve history in what we have and ...

'Airy,
I have a headliner pattern for Argus III. I can send pictures of how it turned out. Plus, someone on the west coast just used it, as well. Let me know if you would like to borrow. Postage is all that I ask. Thanks and have a wonderful Christmas season.

'Frank,
We may have some new (old) fuel shut off valves still in cloth bags complete with original compression fittings. Would you be interested?

Many of us have collected parts along the way that can assist ...

'Congratulations and well done! Can't wait to do that with HB-690. We're still about a year out on the 7 year process of ground up. The UC-61K will never have looked so good. Thanks for the update.

'Tim,
Welcome to the wonderful world of rebuilding a Fairchild. You'll be surprised at what you can do once you set your mind to do it. We, partner Jim and myself, have been amazed at what we can do. I'll send you some pictures of how we have progressed, but would recommend you do your own ...
