The pacific northweast has been anything but friendly the last week, and unfortunately, my friend and customers tcart was the only victim at Victoria International airport on Vancouver Island. Winds between 80-90 knots unfastened the tiedowns, and cartwheeled the plane 200+ feet onto a taxi way. The damage precludes any feasable economic rebuild presently, so parts are available, to help the owner recoup some of his loss.... the following list is most of the usefull items, email for more info, or any items you don't see...
General description of usefull items:
65hp engine core (no moving strike, but high time, on condition)
ENGINE MOUNT, good shape.
Exhaust shroud, relatively new, slightly bent, straightenable.
Baffles really good
New slick magnetos, 125 hours since new last year, harness and plugs
Top cowl, with bumps for spark plugs
nose bowl slightly bent, but straightenable
Right main gear
bungee covers...
wheels and brakes
doors
Inst. and all cabin items good, not old style yokes
fuselage: firewall to approx. 6 feet back is perfect, then badly kinked, but very aft end of tail is also ok.
Right stab perfect, right elevator very minor bend, easily repairable
left elevator trim mechanism and trim tab good, bent outboard
tail brace wires all good
right aileron good
right wing broken spars, but looks good other that that
left wing- parts only
one strut useable: right forward
jury struts good
tailwheel springs
old maule style tailwheel
The owner is hoping that at least his tragic loss will keep some of these beautiful planes flying on... You can contact him at:
