At present, everything is removed from the fuselage frame. Stripping layers of paint took most of the time. The naked fuselage frame is now at Kongsberg Aviation Maintenance Services (KAMS) for x-ray inspection. In the meantime, we removed the fabric from the wings. We found mice and wasp nests, but otherwise the wings seem to be in a reasonably good shape.

Already now, we know that we must do some welding on the fuselage. We must at least design brackets for the battery installation, shoulder hardness attachment points, ELT, and antennas. Further we need parts for the elevator trim system, the Hayes brake master cylinders, and the right hand landing gear axle.

We would also appreciate any information about interior trim and colours on stick, pedals etc.

The new project entered our workshop 22 October 2023, delivered by Henrik Harr Widerøe and Gunnar Arnekleiv personally. LN-HAD is relatively complete, but its condition is unknown. We must do a full dismantle and inspect every detail. IRAN (Inspect and Repair as Necessary) is a proper description of the work ahead. Restoring the wings is regarded straight forward. They are similar to wood spar Cub wings. We therefore decided to start with the fuselage.
