Bill Estes UL
Here are a few photo's of
my Falcon UL. I got it off E-Bay in September 2000. It had
a bent left wing that I wanted repaired. The project took
on a life of it's own and ended up a total reconstruction.
Everything was taken apart, rebuilt or replaced. New
"zero time" engine, windshield, seat and seat
cover, seat belts, instrument panel. The left leading edge
was replaced with one that Mike Fithian had repaired, both
trailing edges were replaced with .032 (upgraded from
.020). The wings, elevators and rudders were covered with
1.7 oz ceconite, painted black for UV protection and
finished in Dupont automobile paint. Replaced the old
nylon elevator bearings with Delrin. Instrument panel
has whisky compass, Airspeed, Altitude, RPM, CHT, EGT
Hobbs and turn/slip indicator. Also included is a Garmin
III on a RAM mount. The "whole package" flies
great and I am very happy with the completed project. Many
thanks to Mike for his assistance.
