Refurbishing a shed find - TWM Super Sport Senior 90
A friend found an old airframe of The World Models - Super Sport Senior 90 that was lying in someones shed for many years. He took it, and after a year or so lying in his own shed (with minor attempt to do some re-covering), he asked me if I am interested...
Well, why not... It will make an interesting refurbishment project. The aeroplane seems to have nice dimensions, and if it looks right, it is probably fly right. Now that this project is finished I thought that I may share it here:
After thorough cleaning, the photos below show the starting point:
The covering throughout was in very poor condition. TWM is using "Toughlon" covering material which do not age well. The "new" covering was a Hobby King" material which is also not great.
The canopy had a minor crack
Minor finger crushing of the fuselage sheeting in the front section
Tail skid arrangement in lieu of tail wheel
Modification to a tail servo for the elevators
Cowl already cut - Not an issue as I did not use a cowl
Cheers,
Eran
