Today was a clean-up and organization day. In preparation for building a tail jig in the basement shop, I sealed up and placed the two wingtank outside. If anyone is interested in wing tanks, they are free to the first person to haul them away.
These tanks were pulled from a set of wings that flew. The tanks appear to be in very good shape.
I spent the day with Russ Milham dragging his station wagon and a trailer down to Fran Neeley’s house in Cathlamet, WA, and coming home with many Coot parts and Coot-building molds. Fran, who I believe has owned a number of completed Coots has decided to get out of the Coot-building business.

The short wooden hull can be seen loaded on the trailer here.
