New Facebook Page

I have a new Facebook page which I hope to keep updated on a regular basis. I will put all further news on the Facebook page and not the Blogger website.
Thank's for your support!

Tempted to resume work on the wooden shell while I'm waiting on parts to be machined for the elevators.
Ply sheeting should be laid up at a 45 degree angle.

 Original armrests on loan from Matt Denning. Starboard side has cutout for canvas map bag. Port side has a section patched over which was originally used on the CA-12 as an opening for the radio channel selector box.

A couple of CA-13 compass boxes in the making.

Pictured is the top part of a cockpit frame that has been chopped up. The two round holes are for attaching the instrument panel rubber mounts.

One way to identify a Boomerang cockpit frame is this code which is stamped on the port upper engine mount lug. 12 means CA-12, G8 means number 8 in Batch G. Unfortunately this code doesn't always match up to the A46 aircraft number, which could be out of sequence. Other methods of identification are the tag on the overturn truss and pencilled A46 numbers on the inside of panels.
12 G8 lines up to A46-93 but is more likely to be from A46-94 More research is needed to confirm this.

 New rear window assembly finished a year or two ago

Morse keying switch ready for installation. I probably restored this about 15 or more years ago and it has been waiting to go on. Mounted on the cockpit tube under right hand sub panel box.
