Zlin Firewall Repair


Recommended Posts

After 8 years and 847 logged flights, my trusty .75-.91 Seagull Zlin's firewall finally came undone. Some fuel damage was also inevitable. I laminated up a slightly thicker firewall, to give more gluing area. The triangle supports were also made from laminated ply. (Not having any other hard wood strips at hand). Having during it's life added flaps, repaired a snapped fuselage and beefed up the undercarriage plate, this plane is now getting a little heavy. But she's not quite ready to be retired yet....

Here's the pictures.
