The Trunk Pilot

The club was kind enough, at the party, through Jim Hingtx to award me with a truly great gift. I have decided that because of the clubs and Jim’s graciousness I will report on the use of this gift through the year usually monthly. The first use came when Brian Sanik showed up at the shop on Saturday to enlist my help in finishing his new Extra 300. We had to cut off and replace both leading edges on the wings, monocoate the entire plane, primer and sand the cowl wheel pants and landing gear. Then we had to paint all these parts, first with base coat then the clear coat. All of this seemed pretty overwhelming to complete in just two days. I know if John Boyko was with us no sweat we could get it done, but no John this weekend. So what to do first to get this project finished and make Brian happy.

Then I remembered the great gift, the TRUNK PILOT, it was residing in my office since the party. Now I put it to work, after retrieving it from the office, I simply took in down to the shop pointed it in the direction of the work and pressed the button. Guess what! Briar left Sunday evening with all items complete. Awesome machine , thanks guys! Stay tuned for the next TRUNK PIOLT tasks.
