jeff2wings Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 One of my ebay bargains that required a bit more work than I thought,oil soaked ,badly repaired and the engine was toast (Enya 45 BB) The hardest part was repairing the fuselage at the rear and keeping it straight ,the nose and cabin was mostly replaced . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff2wings Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 The rear part had been damaged and repaired but not very well having a twist in it so a jig was made to fix that.Most of the nose structure needed replacing/re-glueing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
