ok, one more time. I’m not digging ANY hole, I dealing with a lack of reading comprehension of other peoples part…pay attention to the highlighted part:
Are we on the same page now?:rolleyes:
2 people can easily attach a wing in a day, I know, I’ve done it.
2 people can install an engine, prop & fluids etc & have in running inside of two days, I know, I’ve done it. At Reno, with more people they can do it in mere hours. Hell, 2 people could do it in *one day*… but it would be a long ass day.
Most labour intensive part of doing a Spit/P51 etc would be the instruments, hoses & cables etc. Tin knocking & bashing rivets is gravy.
& “everything at hand” means just that: Fresh Merlin sat in a stand, fresh prop hanging on the wall, spiffy wings with new spars sat on eggcrates & various flappy bits with Mr Dennys finest covering etc.
Like I said: 2 guys, one year…. & like bruce said: ideal world scenario.
Does it happen? doubtful. Could it happen? yes, it could…. Probably need at least a 3 month paid vaction after tho…. preferably the Carib, not Skegness Butlins.. 😉
Edit:
Just thought of something else: I forget you guys are dealing with the CAA.. not the FAA & Experimental/Restricted category aircraft, so that whole “engineering report” stuff wouldn’t be an issue in the US… But that wouldn’t really alter the “perfect world scenario”.. apart from the fact that it could be possible in the US & 100% impossible in the UK..
I think your the one thats not on the right page!! what you are discribing there is ASSEMBLING one from Items that someone else has allready restored.
That is a completely different question, and i would think if two blokes took a year to do that they want there **** kicking!!
