Headed to the lhs in a few...gonna pick up some stuff..iron, coating, heat gun..depending on what mood he's in, 
I'll maybe get him to look at it with me....
I also want a spinner for the prop so I can use an electric starter.

Just got back from the lhs, he was very nice....identified it as a sig kadet sr..about 25 years old...all he could say is you are gonna love that plane! Bought some fuel and supplies....stoked!
I have an instructional video for applying monacoat. You're more than welcome to borrow it. It really sheds the light on how to do it right. It's really geared towards teaching you how to cover a scratch built airplane. If you're just doing some minor patch work, you probably don't need the video.

I said, "I'll buy what I need...he said...got tape?...lol"

naw, I ain't going for looks... :smile16:
He was impressed with the shape of the plane, and he said that it is what he learned with.
he was adamant about the tape vs. repairing for my first time. He was actually kinda excited... :smile28:

So ya'll are like peas & carrots again? :grin: Thats definitely better than the alternative. Shoulda seen him the other day when I told him I was looking for parts for those old cars & that I had bought them all from him back in the 90s... he was all happy & laughing & stuff. Thought it was pretty cool to see him in such a good mood about it all. I didn't know Janet was still there too.
