Alain Gadbois Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Good progress! I think the frame is the same color as the seat. It's quite a bit corroded, but in some places the green is visible and resembles the seat color. Alain Troy Molitor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted September 18, 2020 Author Share Posted September 18, 2020 The only surviving Willow is in Jakarta. My kit directions are only in Japanese. No other language present. Does anyone have a dual language instruction sheet? I’m curious what they are calling out for the interior color? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted September 18, 2020 Share Posted September 18, 2020 Grey: Interior, rudder pedals, floor board, joy sticks with black handle, seats, horizontal box (parts C-28 with silver buttons), throttle (C-21). IP (C-22) black with silver rims around dials. Seat cushions flat green. Sincerely, Mark Troy Molitor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted September 20, 2020 Author Share Posted September 20, 2020 Thanks Mark! This project will be stalled for a few weeks while I move from SoCal to Chattanooga. Your interior color reference is greatly appreciated. Troy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dodgem37 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I can scan the instructions and post them if you like. All copy is in English. Sincerely, Mark Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodgem37 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 (edited) Troy, I had trouble with attaching images to e-mails. Will post here, instead.

Troy Molitor Posted September 21, 2020 Author Share Posted September 21, 2020 Wow, these instruction are light years ahead of mine. The information on the rear fuselage formation lights is also really interesting. Awesome job Mark. Mike, Thanks for the best wishes on the move. Palm Springs, PHX, Flagstaff, Gallup, Albuquerque, Amarillo, Oklahoma City, Fort Smith, Little Rock, Memphis (picked up my son) Nashville and Chattanooga back to Memphis all in Three days. I love the topography of our country and seeing it from the road is amazing. A lot of people never get to see this. dodgem37, MikeMaben, Alain Gadbois and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alain Gadbois Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 The instructions information on interior colors seem a bit odd to me calling for essentially all the components to be gray. I would suggest going with the colour photos where a type of olive is mostly used. Alain Troy Molitor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troy Molitor Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 Hi everyone, i had an epic move from Palm Springs California to Tennessee two weeks back. I have the Willow with me here in Memphis while We’re staying with my brother in law place. Meanwhile, my wife and I are looking for a place in Chattanooga. Somewhere along the way I packed up my Sparmax compressor and haven’t a clue where I left it! I took a load to Chattanooga a month back and dropped it off in storage. The remainder of our belongings are in storage in Cali until we have a house picked out. Hoping to get back on the Willow soon but need a compressor. Can you rent one? Lol.

Troy Molitor Posted November 29, 2020 Author Share Posted November 29, 2020 My good mate D has sent me an add for a Craftsman 6 gallon mushroom tank for $99 at Lowes.. Great price. I really hate my 20 gallon tank to lug around. My Sparmax compressor might be in my storage unit in Chattanooga, which I will visit tomorrow. I just spent a great day on the Savanna River in Georgia/ South Carolina fishing today. Chatt is four hours visit away tomorrow. I feel like a traveling carpetbagger staying with family but Im taking my time finding a place in Chattanooga. The economy will be taking a dive next year so keeping money secured is key for the next several months. Look out for your 401K.

Rockie Yarwood Posted November 29, 2020 Share Posted November 29, 2020 Nice job , Troy! Don't know if this will be of interest to you, but here are some partial translations for the FAOW book I obtained many years ago from j-aircraft.com. These do not seem to be on the website anymore.

Troy Molitor Posted December 2, 2020 Author Share Posted December 2, 2020 Nice find Rockie! Thanks for sharing this with us. Well, Thanks to my wife she found another little compressor I had stashed away. We were looking at houses in Chattanooga this past weekend and I went to a storage facility where we're storing all our garage related items. There on the floor a box had a label on it and the words compressor was on it! Me? Yeah, I just label things as garage related! Ha. A trip to the local Harbor Freight today and here's where I'm currently at. Maybe I can start up on this NITTO kit again. Maybe! .
