Gene Roberts , CA | Sadly, Thomas McCobb a consummate Aircraft & Powerplant Mechanic and Outstanding Fabric Restorer, passed away this month from complications involving surgery to correct injuries received in Vietnam during that War. 11/23/2011 @ 08:46 [ref: 50461] |
Thomas McCobb Visalia, CA | To possibly settle some of the contradictions in these notes concerning The Champlin Museum Nieuport 28.
I first met and worked under Robert Rust Sr. for a six-month period, 1981-82. Bob had remains of two N-28s. One, and perhaps both, as I understood it, were remains of original aircraft once owned Frank Tallman and Paul Manz, who employed them in various Hollywood aviation films. Some may have even been used in Howard Hughes film "Hells Angels". These remains were partial payment/compensation for the flying restoration of the Pfalz D. 12 that Bob restored for Tallman/Manz when they could find no one in the USA willing to undertake the project. Bob conducted parts of the early stages of the Pfalz in the kitchen of his (then) small house. This may have been the house that stood behind the hangar on Rust Airstrip on Highway 92, Fayetteville, Georgia.
My work under Bob, in 1981-2 concentrated on an early Great Lakes Biplane, 1928, I think, that had an upright Cirrus (British-built) engine. This aircraft also flew before being acquired by the Air Force Museum in Dayton, Ohio. This is where Champlin came in: Bob and Doug had exchanged knowledge, plans when The Great Lakes was put into production as a modern sport/aerobatic plane.
I returned to the West Coast for various reasons, in mid-82 and interrupted my work under Bob.
In 1984, I returned to work for Bob again, specifically on the Nieuports. My background at that time was largely woodworking, with experience and research in piano-making. My skills translated well into the work with Bob on the Nieuport.
During the two year period 1984 to mid 1987, I assisted Bob in making the tail groups and upper and lower wings of the two Nieuports. We worked from fragments of the originals and original factory drawings (in French). Bob and I both had a reading knowledge and appreciation for this language. We made every part from new spruce and metric aircraft plywood to Bob's meticulous perfectionist standards. Bob would spend weeks or months designing and making fixtures and jigs for component assembly. The moulded skins on the tailgroup alone probably took two or more months. At that time, Bob introduced me to machine work. Every turnbuckle and fitting was made to exact standards on his old Belt-driven South Bend lathe and Bridgeport vertical end mill. Again, Bob accepted no compromise. Tooling for the rudder bellcranks took me a week to make. On Friday afternoon at about 4, week stamped out perfectly tooled parts on his manual hydraulic press.
For financial reasons, with my mechanic license earned, I left again for the West Coast. In the summer of 1994, I again worked for Bob. Another mechanic had assisted Bob making various weldments related to landing gear, engine mount, (as I recall). He had just left before I came out for the summer. The work was, of course, first-class. (Another of Bob's early craftsment was John N., who made the N28 cowling by hand with and English wheel.) That summer of 94 I believe we worked on the ailerons that he and Robert Jr., his son, had in progress. Champlin had acquired one of the aircraft at that time and I met Mr. Champlin when he visited along with his chief mechanic/restorer. Two years or so later, Bob sent me photographs of Champlin Museums completed N28 that they had finished from Bob's components. I do not know how much work The Champlin did structually. Certainly they did final assembly, probably engine work, and cover work. My understanding was that this aircraft was never flown.
Bob continued to work on his own N28 to his death. His vision was always to restore to airworthy condition and to test fly his work. He remained uncompromising to his last, although his own aircraft remained not quite finished.
It is fair to say, that Robert Rust, Sr. was a consumate aircraft restorer. If you worked under him, his greatness was unmistakeable and inspired unwavering respect for his talent.
It is fair to say, that his son, Robert Jr. Is an exceptionally talented pilot and could competently fly the N28 if completed to airworthy
status.
I hope these comments will help in resolving credit dispute.

Mark Laskowski , WA | I had an opportunity to tour Seattle's Museum of Flight today (16 March 2007). The display of the aircraft gives credit for the restoration to Robert Rust, Jim Appleby, and Roger Freeman. 03/16/2007 @ 17:07 [ref: 15914] |
Mark Laskowski , WA | I can vouch for some of the comments of Robert Rust Jr. regarding the work he and his father performed. I rented a small home on the Rust airstrip in Fayetteville from 1992 to 1993. I helped create a few of the pieces used to reproduce the Nieuport 28. Mr. Rust was reproducing the Nieuport using a mostly complete airframe owned and provided by Mr. Champlin as a guide. The original airframe was a basket case and could not be restored. Several years ago the Champlin collection was acquired by the Museum of Flight in Seattle. Both the Nieuport 28 and the Pfalz D.XII restored by Robert Rust for Frank Tallman are on display. Photographs of the aircraft are at available at www.museumofflight.org/collections 03/03/2007 @ 22:03 [ref: 15751] |
