Checking the Tail Feathers

Every 1000 flight hours we pull the tails off of our aircraft to give them a good looking over.  We started this inspection last week.

In about 1 hour we had the vertical stabilizer and the horizontal stabilizer along with the rudder and elevator off.  The beauty of our older airplanes is the simplicity of their design the the ability to inspect them well.

With all the tail feathers off, MCB looks kinda funny.  Hopefully within the course of a week or so, we will have her back together ready to fly for another 1000 hours trouble free.
