I did get up with him. I also went out to my pane. It appears that with removing the rear end, front prop and the bottom cowling to the rear engine (would require drilling out permanent rivets for this piece) I could make the fuselage about 13.5 feet long. Although this IS an option.....I think my best bet is to bite the bullet and have the local FBO there do the necessary work in order to make it legal again to fly. Will be about 2 weeks for them to give me an estimate, what to start a pool on how much? Nearest person to the actual bid gets the bill. Any takers? KD

Well after "biting the bullet" and asking the FBO to give me a bid, nothing has happened with my plane. I have found out that I can transport the plane sideways as long as it is less than 16' wide. I can easily make that. So I got one maint. shop there to take the tailbooms off and they will also pull the the rear engine off so I can send it off for teardown. I am still short 2 rear prop blades so if anybody knows of someone trying to get rid of some please let them know of my situation. I have an entry on the part site here with the pn for the blades. Wish me luck, I'll let you know how the haul goes in two weeks. KD

Jim C,
They did not even give me a bid. Thanks for the tip on the prop. I don't know enough about props to know if that one will fit my plane. Have e-mailed him about that and price. He's only 7.5 hours away so may go pick it up myself. If this doesn't pan out then its a call to Don. I'm still hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars away from needing the prop, but it would be nice to have it in hand. KD

My own dis-assemby
When Hagarstown aircraft came to pick up my 337, to start a rebuild, it took them three guys a long day. By the end of the day, the airplane was leaving on a trailer, wings off, and the booms + rudder + elevator assembly still together, but on the same trailer.
