Default RE: Goldberg Extra 300

Hey Guys!


Its been a while I thought I would do some updating!

Well with some help from captain john and all of you I have got some progress to report! With the mono coat off as well as some minor fixes (broken bits, fire wall reconstruction, etc) the plane is now ready for a table jig for some straightening. Some where in the planes past life the tail assembly got twisted during either construction or an interesting crash. And as a result the right horizontal stabilizer is 1 and 3/8 of an inch higher then the left...

The plan of correction is as follows: use ammonia to wet the wood and use blocks to adjust the horizontal stabilizer to hopefully correct the issue. Hopes are high, cause I have a lot of time and effort invested. Wish me luck and please chime in and give some suggestions along the way!

Mike
