In this episode, Gary has removed the engine to fix a small oil leak, and discovers broken engine mounts on the Stinson SR-7 Project. He also shows us his other Stinson SR-7B project, which will be a full restoration.
Our good friend, Bob Rogers, has the best of both worlds, an Experimental Aircraft for pure fun and a General Aviation Aircraft for long trips and comfort. See his Mustang II and his 1966 V-35 Beechcraft Bonanza.

We had a great time visiting the Mid America Flight Museum in Mt Pleasant, Texas. There are a lot of beautiful Aviation museums across the country that have their own particular mission. Mid America Flight Museum is based in Mt. Pleasant Texas (KOSA).
