HB-ODW - A (not so young) swiss beauty

Post by Flieger-Marius »

That's my current project. Restoring a stunning paintshop from a few photos from hte 60ies/70ies with corresponding quality.
As the life returns into that old bird, I can almost smell it. (And I am really sorry I can't really :? )

Thanks, Lewis :)

And of course the old conti gets an hour reset.

Which goes along with some polishing on the engine :)
(screws will be done as well, i think, gotta look into the photo material again for that)

And (unfortunately) the old wooden prop has to make place for a "new" Hartzell Aluminium one.
Because we were forward-thinking in the 60ies. :D
(needs some work on the Hartzell sticker outlines, I know)
