- Wash, scrub, wash, scrub
- Got the turbine cleaned, lubricated, and working.
- Stripped the green & grey paint scheme – it was all cracked – that was a messy job.
- Rebuilt the turning motor. It works!
- Restored Telegon oscillator.
- Covered fatigue-cracked vertical speed transmitter canister with copper.
- Cleaned and lubricated all three Telegon transmitters.
- Found elusive altitude vacuum leak.
- Replaced fabric throughout trainer.
- A lot of instrument troubleshooting
The trainer is 100% working (on most days). It is flying great. All front-panel instruments and repeater instruments are functioning properly. The instructor can communicate with the pilot via the radio, as the crab plots the course on the desk’s map. Yea!
