Exciting news has just come from the factory this
week! They are NOW really back in business! The FAA
has just given them permission to build new parts,
sell their current supply of new old stock (NOS) parts
and start building new airplanes!
Harry Ingram and his staff have worked hard for the
last ten months now in La Grange to get this approval
and they have finally got it this week!
September 26th, I had the extreme pleasure of having a
guided tour of the factory by Harry himself and had a
great day there! It was truely amazing to see that so
much of our Taylorcraft's construction equipment is
still with us and not rusting away in a dump somewhere
after all that the various Taylorcraft corporate
entities have gone through!
It took me the last few weeks, but today a new section
has been added to my "Captain Jon's Taylorcraft
Hangar" web page covering my visit to the factory and
the current status of their operations. This is
exciting news for all of us as parts and new airplanes
are going to start flowing out of the factory,
something we haven't seen in over a decade! Harry is
very committed to making this all work, both building
new airplanes and providing parts for everyone at
reasonable costs. And there are even more BIG plans
and things going on down there in Texas!
Anybody need a brand new 12 gallon main fuel tank?
They have been working on them just this week. How
about some new wing tanks for your restoration. They
are on the schedule for next week! STRUTS! Yes, struts
will not be far behind! $7,000 worth of streamlined
tubing is IN STOCK now since my visit and they will
have the new sizes (the old sizes are no longer
available) approved shortly for our old planes.
Patterns and jigs for strut cuffs and jury clamps
will need to be fashioned, so it will be a little
while yet, but they are coming!
OK, do I have your attention yet? Well then, head off
and see exactly what I found on my "Factory Tour
2003". Set your browser to
http://taylorcraft.info/tcraft/factory.htm and go
enjoy yourself!
Then, make up your shopping list and give Harry a
call! Tell him Captain Jon sent you!
Parts brochures will be out in a few weeks, but if you
need something before then, give the factory a call!
Cheers, and have a great day!!!
