New to WAAAM ! Airplane #96
St. Louis Cardinal comes to WAAAM
 | |
Reassembly of the
St Louis Cardinal
|
Just a couple of weeks ago the museum airplane count went to 96!
On Display in the M1... Yep we fit another airplane in the hangar is the 1929 St Louis Cardinal. A monocoupe with a LaBlond radial engine. Pretty fancy to have an inclosed cockpit and side by side seating. Most other airplane from this era were open cockpit.This is one of 21 built. We have slated this craft for restoration as the wing had warped over the years and before we fly it again we will give it a good fix.
The Cardinal and the Jenny: When the U.S. enterer the World War I, St. Louis Car joined with Huttig Sash and Door Co. (also of St. Louis) to form the St. Louis Aircraft Corporation, which went on to manufacture 450 JN-4D Jenny trainers (a Curtiss design) for the U.S. Army...

Many thanks: WAAAM purchased the Cardinal with funds donated by Peter Lafferty and Don Mayo.

It is going back together! The Parker Pusher is gaining ground!  Piece by piece, hours and hours of sand blasting and painting and .... the beat goes on. The three wheels had to be rebuilt.
(where do you find the right size spokes)
Then primed and painted.
 Then the hunt was on to find the perfect fit for the tires.
Mounted and all aired up!
What's next.... ?
If you are interested in helping with the Parker Pusher restoration project at WAAAM please contact project coordinator Mark Stanfield at 2009mas@gmail.com.
