Starting To Restore Some Air Frame Parts

I decided to unpack some parts and disassemble bead blast and get them ready to prime  for paint.
Other parts will go out for powder coating or re-plating

I will do some before and after photos

Brake / rudder assembly before removal from the fuselage

Started with the rudder/brake assemble and the entry steps

the brake/rudder assembly and the steps bead blasted well  and are ready to prime

Next I started work on the yokes and shafts. 

They where in really bad shape as can be seen by the in fuselage picture

The brown coating was peeling of the yokes and the shafts have surface corrsion where they once were plated  - 

The voyager insets surprisingly are in reasonable condition

I disassembled the yokes from the shafts  - the needed a little persuasion but they finally came apart.

I bead blasted and wire brushed the shafts  - I think they will replate ok

I removed the emblems and easily peeled the brown coating off the yokes 

The yokes came out well  from the blast cabinet and will be re coated or powder coated
