Crash Repair 1 - Great Planes Decathlon 40

This is the first video showing the repairs being made on this once beautiful plane. Our objective is to first of all make solid structural repairs to get it flying again, then, given we are successful with that, do some more cosmetic work to make it look great again. In this repair video, Jim shows some rather unique techniques, so watch it all the way through!

Some people think this is the best part of the hobby. Personally I like to fly more than I like to build, but building is certainly part of the hobby for me. Seems like there's always an airplane or two on the bench needing work. You've covered quite a few aspects in this video. I appreciate it. Formers, supports, cowl repair. There's a lot here. Thanks Jim

I agree, Wayne. Some aspects of the repair seem overwhelming at first glance, but when you get stuck into it, it's exciting to see it all come together, often better than expected!

Thanks Alan. Just waiting on the delivery of the covering material, then we will get it up in the air again!
