Occasionally Walt Davenport flies his "83 Mooney from Brighton, near Detroit, to help out. Today he brought his friend Gary Callenoar along. Gary is a corporate pilot for GM. They land at the Ottawa Executive Airport, which is only a couple miles away.

Al Scholten checks the wiring for a ceiling fixture.

 Jim Baker fabricates a retainer for the weather strip on the rear door.

Ed DeVries and his crew of Don Feutz, Ron Elzinga, Don Bratt, Wes Myrick, and Al Scholten completed the ceiling installation and installed 23 of the 24 light fixtures. The wiring is also being done.

 
Installation is almost complete. 

Stan Bowers and Del Carpenter worked on the starter. We still have a problem as every starter that we have tried has a slightly different nose cone that will not fit up to the engine. Del plans to stop at the generator repair shop to show them exactly what is required. 

Art and Conrad touch up rear panel.
