We started work on 565 yesterday. Sandblasting is under way of all the front pilot parts. Plan is to get everything clean and primed so the pilot can be reunited with the engine chassis once the pit is fixed. 4 hours yesterday was spent disassembling the pilot chassis into two pieces so it can be rebuilt. The brass is frozen and nothing is moving---lots of WD40 and heat!!!!

I'm planning a weekend workday in June so if you are interest please let me know.

Thanks
Steve B.
