We started replacing worn-out fabric on our C-3 with Ceconite. Rick (right) is a jack of all trades and has been helping with Blue Box refurbishment for years. After ripping off the old fabric, sanding the wood and priming it with poly, we asked Leroy (left) if he would be our tutor. Leroy is an airplane fabric expert. He recovered Wright Patterson AFB Training SPO’s Blue Box many years ago; and he recovered the Memphis Belle’s ailerons with authentic cotton for the Air Force Museum. Leroy is trying to teach us tricks of the fabric trade.
