WZ 877

Hello All,
My name is Patrick. With a friend I bought WZ 877. After 15 years of hollidays under the sun, she is back in Europe and now based in La Rochelle (LFBH). We hope that she will be airworthy in two years.

Hi & welcome to the forum.

Any chance of posting photos every few weeks, so we can see the progress?  How are you going to have her painted?

Hello,
She will be in the paint scheme of the end of her military services! (red, white and light grey) At this moment it is too cold to work. Next picture in spring.




Soon ready for the new fabric.

Thank you.  I'm looking forward to the spring already.  Good luck with the project.

looks in good condition. As you will have seen elsewhere I'd recommend the Cleveland brake mod and changing to REL 37B plugs.

I have lots of Ceconite 101 if you need some..

Hello!  Nearly springtime.  How is she progressing?

Super stuff.  It looks as though she is getting a lot of TLC.  I promise I won't nag again for another few weeks.  :wink:  Enjoy the attention!
