The Experimental Aviator

Getting Hirth ready to ship

I brought the Hirth home the other night and got it cleaned up a bit. After sitting in the hangar for so long, it needed the dust and grime knocked off before shipping to Matt at Rec Power for a once over. I'm hoping the internals still look as good as the outside. I suspect that rust on the crank may be an issue by now because of the humidity here in Dallas. Judging from the prop flange, there is bound to be rust inside as well. I'll find out soon.
