This blog is dedicated to the resurrection of a fine sailplane, with the hopes that it will again take flight,
and become one with the rising air currents over New Mexico.

Update - Summer

Not much to report as of today.

I have been working on another project, which has cut into my time on working on this plane.

For now, I can state this; after going over the wreck of the PIK-20D, I found that it will be a total write off. The damage to the fiberglass skins were too extensive. The metal parts seem to be all that is salvageable, with the exception of the hardware in the vertical stabilizer connecting to the horizontal stabilizer, and airbrake on the right wing.

If all goes well, I will be starting the repair assessment and the mold construction in about a month.

Later!
