This week. A short week.

So this week was a short week. Friday is Moi Day, so that means a national holiday. Daniel Arap Moi was one of the past presidents of Kenya. Hey, I've never met him, but if he gets his own holiday, he must be pretty important. Anyway, here's some pictures of this week and the work we got done. I will have some pictures to post next week of the newly painted fuselage of 7DG. They are putting the blue stripes on it today or tomorrow. Cool!

Akivega has been paint stripping the wings of 90U. This was a neat picture because you can see the paint crinkling up on the outboard side.

Maroa (I forget if that's the way he spells it, pole sana) doing the wiring inside the instrument panel of 7DG. What a bunch of confusion back there! Just kidding, I'm glad I don't have to do it.

This was the beginning of a sheetmetal project on 90U. The bottom skins in the tail section were corroded so bad that a bunch of small holes had eaten through the skin. The easiest way to deal with it was to cut out the bottom skins and replace it with new. Wow.

Here we go! Cut, cut, cut!

The finished hole...it went from the bulkhead inside the step area all the way to the inspection panel back near the end of the tail.

Here's what it will look like when finished. This was just the fitting of the new skin to get it lined up and all the holes drilled.

Firewall stiffeners! Those two gray colored stiffeners that run diagonal down the firewall are usually used on 206 floatplanes, but AIM AIR uses them for added strength on the airframe. That is one of the standards that AIM AIR utilizes on all of its aircraft. (snicker)
