A buddy and I flew a different Tiger Moth (local museum owned) to the Geneseo airshow in 2007. We stopped in Guelph for fuel, and flew "formation" to Geneseo from there with Steve in a Fleet Finch. Trying to recall, might have been his son flying the Cherokee that escorted us over the border? We had no transponders.
We expect to have to recover the wings and fuse in 5-7 years. That will be a major task, and will take a busy winter. The fabric passed a punch test, but was definitely nearing the end of its life cycle. The tail surfaces did not pass so we stripped them, rebuilt the elevator and rudder and recovered.
We have a bit of procedure to deal with now. First test flight is scheduled for tomorrow morning, then cool the engine, pull the rocker covers and check the valves. Also retorque the manifolds. That will take half a day, but with luck we can put in second flight and relax a bit tomorrow afternoon. Gotta watch the engine like a hawk for the first few hours.
