I'm beginning to realize this will be a long, multi-year project. Evelyn Greene of the Honolulu Community College has graciously allowed me to use her hangar, tools, and expertise to start the rebuild of the wings. And don't let me forget Timothy Cislo who encouraged me to move the restoration to Kalaeloa Airport and to share his hangar as well with my fuselage and tail feathers! The following pictures document Justen Taafaki and I working on disassembly of the wings prior to repair and re-skinning.
