The last 10% of the work takes 90% of the time…… & the original time/cost estimate of 100 hrs/$10k will end up being 200hrs & $30k… We had a P51 owner suggest renaming the business “Ten Kay Aviation” because every time he walked into the hangar it ended up costing him $10k. We thought about it.. 🙂
All sorts of *aviation* towns in that area… Belfast, Lincolnville, Washington, Hampden, *Aurora* Hudson, Franklin, Wellington, Friendship, Augusta, Pittsfield
The *permanent grounding* mods included cutting a hole in the main beam with an angle grinder… A friend who flew them in Vietnam said “Pah! That ain’t gonna stop me”…. or words to that effect. Although he did admit the lack of a T/R driveshaft would be somewhat problematic.
