Recently Texas Chapter member Howard Hollinger started a project to replace the leading and trailing edges on the wings on his Luscombe, as well as painting the wings. The badly cracked windshield was also replaced. The repairs and painting were done by Joe Sills at Kitty Hill Airport northwest of Austin. Howard had hoped to finish before the Fly-In at Blakesburg, but a couple of late problems showed up after the first test hop. Just as well, as the weather turned ugly between Texas and Iowa and flying wasn’t advisable. He did have a big smile when the bulk of the project was completed. Article by Dick Ramsey.
