Pre-war fin needed

Re: Pre-war fin needed

Before I get started on rebuilding my junk fin, does anyone have a pre-war (three hinge) fin they will part with? The fin itself has two hinges on it.

Found one. Thanks Glen

Re: Pre-war fin needed

I have one. Condition is as removed. It's straight, just needs cleaning up. $75 plus shipping. Also have pre-war elevators and horiz stabs @ $100 ea.

Thanks, Mike

Re: Pre-war fin needed

Hey Glenn! Got any pictures?
Hank

Of the FIN, not the daughter! Of course a picture of the daughter with the fin wouldn't be bad. Going to teach her to fly the Taylorcraft?

Re: Pre-war fin needed

I think Glenn would rather have the $75. His "Significant Other" won't let him have your daughter.
Hank

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Hank,
Can't falt me trying.

Sounds good. Picture? My daughter lives in Litchfield.

Re: Pre-war fin needed

Got out to the airport today and dug it out of the parts storage area. Unfortunately it is a post war. It isn't in "terrible" shape with the hinge line tube bent and a little rust. If you wanted to weld in a new hinge tube with pre war hinges it should be possible, but not easy to get right without a fixture.

Not a problem. It is not as if I am going to cover the fuselage soon. Gore-like to do more that talk to him. Snow-we have had an unreal amount this year-you guys are off the scale.
Later,

Hank,
Had a chance to look for the fin yet?

Re: Pre-war fin needed

Can't believe it but we had ANOTHER snow storm here! This is south east Virginia for cripes sake. We normally get 1/4" of snow A YEAR here and it melts off before lunch. Someone needs to find Al Gore and have a LOOONG talk with him.

Short answer is I haven't been able to get to the hangar or the barn to get my old one. I'll make another shot this week and try and post some pictures of it to make sure you want to try and fix it.

Sorry for the delay, got the same problem with the Compass logos. More people wanted them than I had from the engraver. He's making more so I can send them all out. Just too many things to do in too little time. I need to retire again and focus on the important stuff. No budget for manned space flight after this year anyway.

Re: Pre-war fin needed

Nothing digital. It is in a book on Ercoupes. I've had five. Great airplane. Almost as cool as a T. Any luck on the fin? Got any idea what the shipping would run to Indianapolis?

Re: Pre-war fin needed

Never saw that one. Do you have any pictures? Sounds like it could be fun.

Re: Pre-war fin needed

Hank,
Did you ever see a picture of the "twin" Ercoupe some guys put together after the war? Looked a little like a P-38.

Re: Pre-war fin needed

We are all getting cabin fever! I WANT SPRING and they are saying we may get snow again tonight.
Two fins on a Taylorcraft? I vote for BC-25
Hank

We need a caricature artist!
