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.

My wife made sure that there were pics of it.......I think the term is blackmail. When she decided to back the car out of garage without the benefit of the car door being shut her only retort to me for the $3k damages was, "you bought a plane!" So yes there are plenty of pic.
FYI, I just found out that there is no statutory requirement for me to get the engine that had a blade strike tore down for inspection. Given that it had a nearly perfect crank run out check. I will just visually inspection the engine mount frame for any obvious damage and be able to install it. I have also found a prop and a spare power pack that I will send off for rebuild and replace my broken one that NTSB wants for teardown.

I'm curious - what's the statutory requirement on giving the power pack to NTSB? Aside from the obvious benefit to the community at large, are you required to do it? Do you get compensated for it? Do you get it back after they're finished so so can get the core charge back?

You sure that there is no FAA requirement to get the engine torn down for inspection after a blade strike? Unless things have changed, you had to do it. Just make sure.

There is a well-used engine shop in SC that I was planning on shipping it to. I spoke with the owner. He was adamant that there was no requirement. He did say that no insurance company would insure it without a teardown but I don't insure it. I had a crank runout check that gives tolerances of 0 - 0.005" It ran out to 0.0005". So there is no doubt the crank wasn't bent. Additionally, there was little if any inertia left in the blade as the engine was shut down and the prop was coasting down as it hit the earth. Anyone else have any written requirement somewhere I would be glad to see it. KD
