watch where you point that thing……

now its removing everything else other than the firing pin!

Geez you could put an eye out with something like that… :diablo: I,m not even thinking about our wings yet.Sending me up the funny farm just worrying about the fuse :p ..
I agree it all comes down to the soil composition to see what survives and what doesn,t.Just recover whats left of the engine and clean up as best as possible.All you can do and have a good pic next to it saying..”This is what it should look like”..Good luck guys.

Stuart give us a yell,we have a few that need fixing:)

They don,t call you the wizz for nothing Mk12..Cheers.Thanks for clearing that up,yes I can see now that bushings weren,t used.Serves me right for relying on brain and memory power when I have the drawings on my HD and getting too lazy to search through them..It,s the numbers..They sort of get to me after a while…”nurse,nurse!!..my medication please!!”…oooohhh that plate has nice numbers.. 😀

Sure there are a thousand and one ways to skin a cat as they say.Someone could have an answer to the problem that has been bugging you and your team for months.

Peter the answer is different exhaust stubbs.And different props…I think…

As far as I know the wings were pulled off properly..i.e. access holes were opened and the wing bolts removed.The reason why Swampy is important is that she is a rare E model.Another one is the “Black Cat Pass B17″.Anyway read up on WIX about the recovery.It had an extensive thread about it and the onsuing legal dramas…Thinking about it in a warped sort of way you could say..”Ok here is swamp ghost..You can get it back after we have rebuilt it for you,repainted it for you and got the motors going again…Now you an put a slab down with a shed on top and charge whatever you want for people to look at it…Also we will throw in this lovely restored Boston Havoc.. Cost to you…zero….”

Wow..Great pic and congrats to the guys down there.Just had a whopper of a day finished cleaning out the 20 odd years of junk that had accumulated in our hangar/workshop.Seeing a pic of that sleek nose in the air really finished off a great weekend.Our Project Manager will be down there next month the lucky sod…Us poor beggars still have to work on weekends.Cheers mate.Wish I could do this stuff all week.
