Scale / Mibo Swift S1 restoration

« on: November 27, 2023, 19:23:21 PM »

Well a long time coming. My 20+year old Mibo Swift is in for a good cleanup. Hopefully I will get some inspiration and encouragement here.
Started by stripping the wings to recover. I hate this job....

Just back from a super trip in France with Bill Scott. We started in Cork heading on the Brittany Ferries ship to Roscoff in Brittany. We spent 3 days here enjoying the slopes and attractions in the proximity of the famous hill Menez Hom.

The Menez Hom has slopes for wind in most directions and unfortunately for us the wind was less than perfect but still good enough for us to spend a few hour scratching for lift on the Westerly slope. Here we met up with some local fliers and Alain Durand.
