Stripped the fuselage bare last night. The structure is in generally remarkably good condition, just some small old repairs that need replacing and some minor woodwork required. Lots of work in the controls. Cockpit windows have been discarded (all smashed). Tyre and tube are gone too. Found some serious heavy landing damage that had apparently gone unnoticed (bent skid attachments, delaminated skid, etc.) but nothing we can’t sort out. All main pins corroded beyond saving, and all fittings will have to come out for refurbishment.
The list of things we need is growing:
– Tyre and tube
– Two cockpit windshields
– Main skid
– Set of fittings that join the horizontal stabilizer to the stabilizer struts (left and right)
If you can help with these, please let me know.
