Prop strike, rental for Osh & sheet metal help
BumbleBee had a prop strike, so engine needs tear down. Told it will be 2-8 weeks from the time they get the engine. Looking to pull it tomorrow and drive it from NC to shop in MO (shop in NC gave 4 month timeline).
Anyway, b4 I broadcast my need to the fb c2o group. I thought I'd ask if you know a good rental option, or one I can use from someone and work it out financially. It needs to carry wife,daughter, me, and our osh camping gear. Obviously prefer a Skymaster : ) I have a couple leads, and worse case I can just find a flight school to rent from... but checking around for options. On a somewhat related note, lmk if you know any good sheet metal guys/gals in the Carolinas... the ones I'm talking to are backed up a bunch |

Lower fuselage 337/T337
I have a couple bent stringers under the skin on belly of a T337C. Trying to identify good sheet metal person to help me repair properly. Occurs to me that it might also be beneficial to find a donor airplane that is being parted out to get some of the pieces needed, versus fabricating. From the IPC I am looking at, 337 sn 001 through 1969 (C & T) models all shared the same floor structure. Might even go past that 69 model...but my IPC is dated Jan1,1970, so I don't know.
These would be a few metal pieces, between lower belly skin and floor plates, that normally wouldn't be in demand from a parts plane, so hopefully someone knows a fuselage sitting somewhere that can be a donor to help keep the Bee flying. Send me email to networkgunslinger@gmail.com |
