EAA Neumann MonoCoupe Project

Saturday, March 3, 2012  10:00a to 2:00p
Sunday, March 4, 2012  1:00p to 4:00p
  - DeKalb County Airport (kGWB)
  - Gate 7 - Hangar A - Vintage Workshop

I know it's been a while since you heard us call out for Volunteers to

work on the EAA Neumann MonoCoupe Project.

 

But I need just a few dedicated Volunteers to come over this week-end and assist

us with prepping some miscellaneous parts for painting.

 

We are planning to install the wing on the MonoCoupe in Oshkosh

next month so we need to get the wing struts painted. Therefore we need just a few people interested in helping us strip the paint from the struts and maybe some miscellaneous other parts.

 

We are looking at Saturday morning from about 10 am to 2 PM

....and or Sunday afternoon from 1 PM to 4 PM.

 

Please call me at 260/437-5579 and let me

know if / when you can come help out!
