“Just wanted to give you a new photo of my Stinson. We finished the recover project this spring and she is back in the air again!”

A few shots of the process……

“Wings done; fuselage ready to recover … this is what a naked plane looks like!”

“The plane now has paint! Whoo hoo…”

“I’m sooooo lucky!! I got wings for my birthday! I married the best guy ever!! I’ll be flying again soon!”

The following was posted Feb 7, 2011, before the recover.

Taildraggers are the real deal!  I learned how to fly in a Piper Cherokee 6, then had to start all over to get my TW…  I couldn’t even taxi the first time I got in a taildragger.  Originally learned to fly in Idaho, so did a bunch of back country flying where the only way to go is TW.  Now here in North Carolina it isn’t as important, but still the best way to go!

This year we are re-covering my 1946 Stinson 108…  I can’t wait to see my ole girl restored to her original splendor!  Stay tuned for more!
