CRo rests in a place that is warm even on the coldest of Michigan winter days:

.

... CRo will be fitted with a Yam YZ 125 seat pan, and a Duc F1 fairing, both from Air-tech ...
the alloy subframe was "built to fit" the seat,
but some major cutting and re-shaping was necessary to get the Duc shaped FRP to skin the CRo's skeleton ...
kinda painful to take a cut-off wheel to all that expensive new glass !
But then what they say about broken eggs and omelettes is true !

The established relationship of the fairing and the frame will be necessary to devise a mounting ...
so where to get aluminum tubing stock to fab a fairing mount – uh, without buying it, eh ?

Bearing in mind that I am the consumate pack-rat, I thought and remembered:
13 years ago when I first moved into the skoolhaus,
the previous owner had left some "crap" in the garage, stuff he just didn't want to haul away, I suppose.
There were some bundles of shingles, 1/2 cans of paint, misc. lumber, the usual crap ...
and in the rafters, hanging in a jumble,
the remnants of a badly landed hang-glider that the PO had flown and crashed and resolved to save and repair and never did ...
now where did I trash/stash that damn thing ?

... Right where I had dropped it when I first cleared the garage 13 years ago as it luckily turns out,
in the weeds, next to an old ceramic kiln and a barrel of coal used to fire the forge.

Enough straight and salvageable alloy tubing to do the job + a bit more, I suspect !

Sometimes, life is good, and then there's just more to do !
