Default RE: Winter Racer Build and Recovering Thread.

Well got the 190 all ready for another flight, but until we get a few a days to dry out and get the grass mowed, it ain't happening. Looks like next weeks weather looks like crap too so maybe in two weeks. It is starting to look like March now.

Started to get dirty with the Macchi. Since the 190 is not hogging up the space I can work on it indoors. Getting the covering off pretty fast and using the eraser is working well with getting the glue off. Need to replace some of the sheeting on the front since there is a little fuel exposure. What is the best way to leach the fuel out of the wood. I tried baking soda but it was not that impressive? Any home remedies out there? Since the weather is so crappy and I have a four day weekend next week, I should be able to get a lot done. Here are a few pics.
