Gemini ZS-WWF

[Tailspin]

Hi All

Well yes I got myself a Gemini 503 - Lots of missing parts but well I know i can get her flying again.
She is in Dire need for alot of work and TLC but hope to have her up and going in a few months.

[JvTonder]

Looks like you always like to fix the birds with the broken wings. Enjoy!

[weedy]

AH Ha I thought I smelled something fishy a while back, congrats, love the wing of the Gemini

[Tailspin]

OK OK OK

So i am Busted. I did a couple of hours training in a Fixed wing and i can honestly say it does not have the same effect as flying a trike.

This baby is in Dire need of Plenty hard work but I am really looking forward to getting her in the Air.

Like i said in the other link - NO SHE IS NOT FOR SALE SO DO NOT EVEN ASK

Some more pics.

Took the Pod off, took the Spats off - Installed the carbs, Airfilter, Installed the pull start, repaired the mount for the Radio and found more damage
The Seat as CUT off, so have put velcro on to all the Straps.

The list just go's on.

Hey Gav,

This looks like a lot of work...but the flying when all is done is going to make up for the hours of elbow grease...

Congrats on her Gav and may the wind always be from your Tail....

So getting my butt into gear and getting her sorted ASAP.
