CF-CLR Update

[Scott]

Good Evening all

Just finished a Blog update.
Progress has been made, and this time it's even visible hehe.

Enjoy

PS
I realized I am in need of a check ride because I have no Taylorcraft time since I last flew CF-CLR in 1989. If there is anyone with a Taylorcraft on wheels in the vicinity of Thunder Bay/Lake Superior who would be willing to take me for a refresher it would be very much appreciated. I will of course pay your costs. I would probably be confident/risk tolerant enough to fly it anyway but I expect my insurance will want a check ride.

Re: CF-CLR Update

thanks Mike
it's been a long road and I'm nearly out of steam. The blog keeps me motivated and in an odd way helps me see progress which I don't nessesaryly see on a day to day basis.

Re: CF-CLR Update

Thanks Clark
Glad it's useful to you as well.
Put another long dreaded step behind me today... the headliner! I can't even begin to tally the number of hours that went into that project. Starting with the wrong model headliner, then making a pattern out of an old sheet, then fit trim remove stitch x4 and finally the last three days for final installation.

Anyway... ta dah:

Scott, headliner looks great and progress is outstanding as well!

Your blog is as well done as your work on CLR, please keep it up as it is quite a valuable resource to all Tcraft owners/future restoration projects as is Rob Lee's blog.

I would suggest when you are done to some how collect it and the photos into an file or ebook and I would be happy to pay for a copy of your "book". Such well documented info really needs to find a method to be preserved as it helps us all.

Cheers! Mark

Thanks Mark
Yes I was toying with the thought of turning it into some kind of reference book, perhaps combined with my 172 restoration so it's not such a narrow focus. All that will need to wait until I've caught up on my fishing!
