 |
|
Group,
One thing that popped to mind in the discussion on the Operating
Limitations/AW was how many people I have known that did not get new OL
issued when they bought the aircraft and moved to it to their new base
of operations. I think a seller should enlighten a buyer to this
requirement.
I received a call on the 55 on eBay yesterday. Subsequently, I looked
at the ad. 2 items:
1. This engine is a candidate for a prop strike teardown. Seeing the
amount of damage on the one blade and being told the guy hit a solid
object merits an inspection. If interested we can do this work.
Contact me offlist, if you would like more information.
2. The deformation between the fuselage and the rear of the right
wing. I would not bid on this airplane unless I was going to scrap it
or have someone qualified in metal and structures take a look at the
damage and give an assessment. The leading edge damage is no problem.

I agree it is more for scrap and spares than a rebuild. Even after a rebuild (HUGE $$$$$), would anyone want to pull hard G's in it?

That would always be in the back of my mind.
Also, it would a tough airplane to sell when you were done with it. That is unless you lied about its history. Lord knows it happens.....

The warbirds you mentioned are virtually new airplanes when they are done with them....and NEVER flown like they were while operational.
I am sure you could spend the coin to make that -55 "new" again, but you would have an airplane that is still only worth 50K.
