We installed the canopy on our C-3. It gives it a whole different feeling when flying the trainer.
Check out our new video “Recovering a Link Trainer with Fabric” (Under “Videos” heading in right column ).

Done doping
We finally finished doping our C-3 trainer. Wings and control surfaces are ready for the fuselage.
Leroy got out his old drafting tools to place the star perfectly parallel to the fuselage.
Connector tags
The remote instrument box includes three primary Telegon instruments, each with identical 5-pin AN connectors. To avoid confusion, Link labeled them with small stamped metal tags. “AS” air speed, “VS” vertical speed, and “ALT” altimeter. Those little labels withstood the test of time.
Spin the gyro
We recently refurbished the turn and bank indicator regulator bellows for our Blue Boxes. The regulated vacuum output is supplied to a gyro inside the turn section of the turn and bank indicator.
For more details, read the ‘turn and bank indicator regulator bellows’ section under ‘Restoration hints’ in the right column [scroll to bottom for cell phone] , or check out our video.
Update December 1, 2020. The bellows refurbishing did the trick. The turn and bank indicator is now working. Yea!
