Reno

I need help because I'm lazy or cold blooded your pick. I'll be in Reno the first week of Dec. with a big ugly crop duster that will need detailing. Any of you guy's from around there know anyone that does or will do the job? Also is there hanger space around there that I can rent for the job?
Not the usual back country topic, but I appreciate the advice. :wink:

John,
I appreciate it. That's what I'm looking for, hopefully some body that would like to pick up some extra money on a Sat. for Christmas. I'd much rather pay some college kid or lineman for their work than an FBO chain if I can.

I'm planning on Sat. the 8th. I may be there a day or two before depending on Wx. I assume the aircraft could sit outside until Sat., Ideally I would like the hanger all day Sat. for whoever will detail it. I will call that FBO tomorrow. I believe they move the aircraft to some kind of convention hall Sat. night or early Sun. morning. I've not been to the Reno convention before. I couldn't avoid this one though.

I don't know, but it's not a small plane. I'm having it washed and waxed before it leaves. Should be just whatever bugs and grime it picks up on the way. I'll stay off of dirt of course. The problem is it's about the same size of say a King Air. Pretty sure it's wing span is 54 feet. Washing and waxing my Maule does me in, but I am older and fatter than I used to be :lol:

The most commonly misspelled word in aviation:

HangAr.

Sorry, guys, couldn't resist....hope the trip and the detailing goes well... :P

You must be taking one of those Thrush 660s down for display at the annual NAAA conviction. :wink:

Been there, done that...don't envy you a bit.

Enjoy! :lol:
