I'm unloading all my parts

[EXPlanes]

Slam, half the fun of owning these relics is being able to fabricate some of the parts when they are unavailable or difficult to find. You can sometimes find parts like the cowl bumps at Oshkosh, auto parts stores (similar looks), or fab the part. The bumps can be made by using the best one you have and making a plaster mold to cover with fiberglass or making a wood pattern and forming 0.016 aluminum over it. As an example, I fabbed this trim fairing out of aluminum by making a cardboard pattern, transferring it to the aluminum, then forming it over a steel tube, and finishing it with hand seamers and my fingers. Yes there are times you may fab a part more than once!
I know it can be frustrating but enjoy the fun of owning an older craft and have fun accomplishing and installing your own creation!
