Moth Upgrades and Repairs

Max and Dan both own Mach 2 Moths and find themselves making upgrades and repairs fairly often. They were both surprised how little information was available online so they decided to start documenting their work. Mach 2 is a great company to work with and Simon Owen Smith responds quickly to any questions you might have. Tim Willetts at C-Tech is also another great resource and is quick to reply to any questions. Thanks to them both, as well as everyone else who has been so open with information in the Moth class.

Some of these pages are not yet populated. But if the thumbnail is here then we (or someone we know) has completed the repair. Use the contact page and give us a call (or send an email) to ask for help.
