101 Days

2014 Work Schedule...

As this is an outdoor restoration work on the helicopter is limited.  This year, 2014, the "Hands On" period is from May 24th to September 1st or 101 days.

Since there are only 15 weekends I will do my best to make myself available everyday to any volunteers who wish to work. Leave me your contact information in a comment and I will get back to you.

I will be adding schedule notes as they come up...

May 1st to May 23rd will be the period for getting the restoration site ready.  The main weekend for that will be the 17th and 18th.

September 6th & 7th, End of season picnic and secure site for Winter.

Project 892 Is Back

Restoration Area

We are back.  We have had "interesting times" here but we just landed on our feet and I can again post to the blog.

2013 was an off year for the project.  There was no action on the aircraft itself although a lot of work was done in the office

I see many pages views have been done but no comments.  Please remember that any comment/request will be addressed.

For the modelers out there, we too are building the Italeri 1/72 and the FM 1/48 scale kits as part of the educational portion of the project.  Remember, the first H-21 documentation I had to work with were the directions from the Hobby Craft kit.

As for the FM 1/48 kit, my Brother (the professional museum quality molder builder in the family) said the Illustrated Parts Breakdown manual, and a 1:1 scale model in the backyard are not required but are very helpful.  If you are building an H-21 model we will be glad to share what we know,  If we don't know it already we will do the research and get back to you, as it may help us as well.

So, join us in the project.

Take Care!!!
