DeBaun Flying Service

Tom Adams (Godfather of the IAC) new engine.  I was just finishing up the Annual Inspection on his Stadaucher (can't speel) Aerobatic Monoplane.  Kelly Adams (Tom's son) and Craig Gifford will be flying this fine machine in the World Advanced Aerobatic Contest in Hungary later this summer.

Also... Craig Gifford had a massive oil leak on the way home from Florida in his Panzl (another world-class Aerobatic Monoplane) and put her down in IA.  Chrissy and I drove down, helped Craig pull the engine and then we took the engine back to Minneapolis for overhaul.  Hopefully it will be done before Chrissy and I head up to Alaska so I can re-install the engine.

This SAT I'll take my rolling aircraft maintenance shop up to Anoka Co. Airport and do the Annual Inspection on Forest Fox's Pitts S1S.

Not much going on with the Aeronca.  I have the tail on but still have to finish rigging... been busy getting ready for our big Alaska Moto Adventure... we leave in less than three weeks :)  Over and Out!
