As we have previously done with the
Mi-2 currently flying at the
Cold War Air Museum, we are having to replace a portion of the belly skin that was damaged by corrosion on helicopter number 212.
Work is progressing at a good pace. The bottom skin has been removed and the interior of the fuel compartment will be cleaned and treated before it is closed up again.
The old damaged skin will be placed on top of a new sheet of aircraft aluminum so that all dimensions and holes can be carefully traced out.
After all the dimensions are transferred, Charles turns the new sheet into a perfect match for the old.
As work progresses, we will continue to bring you update reports.
