This is my 15 year old Record Breaker. Hasn't flown for around 10 years but decided to sort it out, recover and get it going again. There was nothing wrong with the airframe (it did have a mid-air in its earlier life but survived with a broken wing spar and slight fuse damage behind the wing) As the old Solartex covering was ageing I decided to recover it and at the same time check out the airframe for any issues. It will be covered in Vintage Yellow Solartex with blue paint trim. An OS 52 FS will power it.
The only small change I will make is the rudder will be pull pull wires as opposed to the original pushrod, the elevator will remain as a pushrod.
Hopefully this time I will have a better go of trimming the plane out. Never really got the plane flying as I wished last time, hence the storage in the attic. Bruce (BMatthews) has given me great advice of vintage plane trimming so hopefully this time I will get it sorted.
