08:00 PM - 10:00 PM
KANE - Anoka County-Blaine Arpt(Janes Field)
Follow the process of purchasing an 80-year old vintage aircraft and returning it to service. Spoiler It takes more than just putting some air in the tires... This talk will cover various administrative and mechanical issues (both expected and unexpected) that were encountered during the process of reviving a 1942 US Army Aeronca L-3B that sat in storage for 16 years. We will go over problems associated with long-term aircraft storage that anyone shopping for an older plane should be aware of. You will see some detailed examples of what can can happen to fuel systems during extended storage, and some critical maintenance mistakes we discovered that passed many earlier annual inspections. This talk will also have a brief history of the L-3B, and a look into the process of updating the aircraft graphics.
