As always, we will begin with degreasing the bottom, then will wash the airplane, and finally we will wax it. We hope to be able to complete this before lunch, but sometimes we don’t get to the waxing until after lunch; it all depends on what kind of turnout we have.

Any and all help is much appreciated. It’s best to wear clothes you don’t mind getting dirty or wet for the degreasing and washing stages, but we have a few chores you can help with that won’t get your clothes dirty, so if you are waiting for your medical and have a few minutes to spare come on out and give us a hand.

I hope to see you on Saturday!

Barbara
