    After a total rebuild of our club 233 we are nearing completion and will be adding this old bird back on the line as our primary trainer. Take a look at the Soaring Forum and you can see the pictures of our nearly completed project. The name

    Let me know what you think of the Sky Hag. Old Bob, The Purist
    Beautiful work. Great to see other clubs taking on big projects. Curious what you found in the way of corrosion in the tubing, especially in the lower tubes and the main cluster in the gear area.

    Hard to believe that our 2-33 project (The Mad Cow) is already 10 years old.

    Papa3, I did a considerable amount of work in restoring this old girl, and the corrosion was not a problem but somewhere in the life of the Hag she was ground looped and some of the tubing was bent. We sent the fuselage back to K&L where it was
    put in the jig and brought back to new specs. I then had the fuselage media blasted and the entire fuselage powder coated, probably the only powder coated 233 fuselage in the world. I then started the fabric covering with ceconite and completed with the
    Stits system. During this ordeal I stripped the wings, did some cosmetic repairs and went ahead with the prime and paint. At this point we are finishing with the trimming and installation of the new interior and getting ready to assemble for the journey
    to the finish line. I am working on a video of this restoration project and will be posting as soon as the HAG is completed.
    I have extended an offer to "R", so he could be our guest and be one of the first to fly the "HAG", I told him the "HAG", would even make him look good! I fully expect "R", to motorglide on up to X52 and join the celebration for the flying "HAG".
    We also have an LS3 A that is nearing completion and only lacking a canopy, so if anyone has a canopy for an LS3 please let me know. I will be posting more pictures in the Soaring Group page soon. Thanks for taking a look at the "HAG", we will be
    happy to have the old girl back in the sky training new glider pilots both young and old. Old Bob, The Purist
    I still think my last suggestion of "Treasure Chest" is a better name, Bob.
    That 2-33 sure does look beautiful. Nice job on the resto. I would love to fly that beauty, whatever the name!

    Safe Landings,

    Great news on the 233 project, we will be assembling the wings to the "HAG" this coming week. Our club project has taken longer than expected, but the end result will be impressive. I will be posting a few more pics on the Soaring Forum Group site, Old
