T41 Trainer - The Project Continues

As many of you may know, the 'Hawks' of the 45CS have been extremely busy working on the T41 Trainer. Many of the items obtained to help make this project possible have been generously donated. We would like to give a big shout out to Industrial Metal Supply in Riverside for providing additional steel to help us complete our landing gear for the T41. In the next couple of days the steel plate will be plasma cut into the same shapes we fast prototyped with a 3-D printer. Another big shout out goes out to KH Metals and Supply also located in Riverside, for providing the hardware to bolt everything together that is not being welded. Update on the strobe lights for the T41, all of the strobe lights are now installed and fully functional in the cockpit of the T41! A shout out to online-led-store.com for all their help. We also want to give a shout out to Ace Hardware in Woodcrest for donating a pile of spray paint for our T41. One final shout out, goes to Rock-Bottom Off-Road in Woodcrest. They plasma cut some of the critical components for our main landing gear. They also provided and bent the tubing for our nose wheel attachment. In addition to all that, they gave us a bunch of scrap for use this weekend in our welding training. You guys are all awesome and ROCK!!! Without you, the T41 Project would not be possible!
