With mid 70's, low winds and sunny, we 'conjugated' the local club's field.







Only one flight on the TF P-47 due to 2 cowl mount breaks.











Got the 'maiden' in on the Ziroli F4U Corsair. Only needed 2 clicks of down elevator.
Gear wouldn't come down but only thing that broke was the CF prop (and pride!).



Big 'full size' air show this week in Cincinnati, Ohio.


============
Ziroli F4U PM.

One of the 'air lines' detached from one of the main gears while in flight.
Replacing all the old 'air lines'.



Got the 'mains' done. Getting late, will finish up, tomorrow.



Lucky the plane flew as 3 of the 4 engine mount bolts came loose.
When, previously, PM'ing it, the engine was secure and, figured, the bolts, after a decade old, would, probably, be rusted 'in place'!
MMM: never 'assume'!
