  • Taylorcraft 15A

    Greetings from Maine! The new project is 6652N a '53 Tourist in need of much patience before her next flight. I am not sure if it was the power lines or the 40 ft. drop to the ground but I am in need of some parts. ( Actually lots of parts). Would be happy to hear from anyone with leads, advice, parts or sympathy!

    Thanks Much,

        I finally have the plane down to the airframe and the wings opened up. Frame shows little rust but will need considerable tube work. Left landing gear is broken. Spars will need to be replaced as well as the struts. Around 20 of the ribs are damaged and several nose ribs are demolished. Nose bowl is torn and I suspect will need to be recreated. I will post further as I progress and have a better idea of which parts I can repair or will need to replace.

        Forest ---- If you should happen to read this I will be calling you regarding the parts you have available. Thanks Much for the reply,
