non really, I have been around Chino Air Museum and other WB associations. What I noticed is that a selected few are amazing, but HAVE To delegate to other volonteers. Other volonteers that take their task very seriously but definitly lack experience.
I eard it myself something like: "We don't have time to train them as good as we should, but we need thier labor and dedication".
Goes same with some remanufactered parts they use in the planes, as cost is always a predominant issue.
Get exited all you want behind your keyboard Toad, I based my feeling from what I eard from the persons I met there.
Frenchy,
Your comments are soooo typical of "wanna be" warbird pilots with around a thousand hours... You spend a day or two hanging around at a fly in, or going to a museum, and the next thing you know, you're an expert. I'll tell you what, I have been building, restoring, and maintaing WW2 aircraft for around 12 years. I am considered an expert in the field, but guess what, I don't know it all. I do maintenance with the manual out, I build and restore according to drawings and SRM and when those don't cut it, my 4313 is not too far away, nor is the phone to call the DAR. So, I suggest you stick to what you know, which in this case is little, and stick to doing walk around inspections on the 150's and Katanas you fly... and leave the real iron to those that know what the shreck they are talking about.
