955 Update

As you can see in the photos 955 is finally being stripped of all paint. All flight controls have been removed. This is the proper way to have an aircraft painted. Once painted they will be reinstalled on the aircraft and signed off by an A&P mechanic.

955 Update 12/18/2017

Well 955 is finally getting close to getting out of the paint shop. It takes time and patience to get a plane painted. I would rather them take their time and do it right. From the pics everything looks good so far. There are a few mistakes and the painter is going to remedy them ASAP. The horizontal stabilizers and the elevators are supposed to be solid green. There are also supposed to be strips on the wingtips. Also the new seat are going in. We should pick her up this week. Then she is off to the avionics shop to get her IFR transponder re-certified. Who ever heard of a C-150 that can shoot a ILS?

The Restoration of N10955

Well after 5 long years it is finally time to get N10955 up and flying again. For those of you who don't remember,  955 is a 1974 Cessna 150L. I bought her for a good price but she needed a lot of work. The work done so far is: O-200A Engine Major Overhaul. (The Correct Way) All New Wiring  New Carpet  All New Plastic Interior New Seat Coverings Panel Mount Garmin Area 500  King KX155 Nav/Com New Tires Tubes and Brakes. All New Fiberglass Fairings. Nose Strut Rebuilt All LED Lights All New Glass Finally, 955 is receiving a new paint job. I have always liked the 1976 paint scheme, so I decided to paint 955 in that paint scheme (or at least 90% of her). There will be a few deviations to it. Primary Base coat will be Snow White and Secondary is a Hunter Green.  955 Just arrived in Devine,Texas. Her transformation is about to begin. More info to come....
