S2 and S1 work

The S2 is down..560 hours on the plane and engine.Engine just didn't run as smooth as i'd like..Found 2 blades were loose on prop..Prop on it's way back to whirlwind for overhaul...Compressions were down into the 60's on 4 cylinders...removed cylinders to find surface rust spots aren't going to allow High 70's....New P10 pistons on the way and cylinders are being ground and ohauled..

Had to redoRV gear mount on S1 project..was made too wide per following the wrong drawing.My Buddy Jack and I borrow welders back and forth..he's grumpy from night shift at powerplant..Went and bought used Tig300 Lincoln to resume production repair...

Finished up new assy. last nite..have to line up in motor mount and tack in place..

Flying S1 has found a new home.. 2hangar doors down .
