In order to prepare the engine, the connecting rods needed to be protected. The bolts were cleaned and, after being instructed, Carter applied the sealant, and the bolts were applied to hold the crankcase together. There was a demonstration regarding how to inspect an oil filter and also an explanation how to correctly install the safety wires. The rust was removed from the cylinders and the rudders and brake pedals were installed. While the young people were hard at work with their mentors, other adults were cleaning and constructing donated airplane models to be hung at True North Bakery at the Skagit Regional Airport.
