This is about 100 yards from Brian's hangar. I understand Brain made some parts for
it with his English wheel.

I made  6 sets of landing gear doors for the planes. The landing gear doors are made
out of 1" thick baltic birch plywood, the kind with about 16 plys. All compound
angles on the doors, and .065 thick aluminum flanges inset  flush to the exterior of
the panels. I made exact duplicates based on a set of the originals that they lent
me. Herb Tischler, the guy who originally started the project, changed some things,
so my faithfully reproduced doors had to be modified in order to use them. They also
made some other questionable design decisions, such as welding up fuel tanks out of
2024 aluminum. They looked great, but welding 2024 is a big no-no. Bob Hammer is the
guy who headed the project up here and got the whole thing all sorted out. They are
currently building a Mitsubishi Zero from scratch. They also refurbished Paul Allen's
163 Komet.
