Taylorcraft - Complete Aircraft Rebuild

This aircraft is of tube and fabric construction. The above picture shows the tubular construction of the fuselage. The aircraft will be recovered with fabric by the first year students.

An example of a welded cluster on a tube and fabric frame. Mechanics are authorized to repair this type structure and this is the reason why we teach welding at the beginning of the first year.

Another example of a welded tubular cluster

These wings have been stripped of the old fabric, checked for damage and then recovered. All the work, including painting was done by first year students.
