Bill Call asked for damage assessment on Las Vegas accident:
Prop is history, engine needs teardown. Sending engine mount to be straightened, then can replace nosegear and parts. Pulling main gear, sending hydraulic cylinders back to factory for overhaul. Will determine gearbox useable at that time. May need new trundles. For
sure need new gear legs, axles, tires. Brakes may be good.
Las Vegas outfit that removed plane from runway used straps under cowling to lift plane. Ruined cowling. Tried to jack up plane. Tore hole in bottom of plane. Cut wiring bundles. Looks like they used a chain saw to get at rear spar bolts. Makes a grown man cry!!!!!!
Impact caused the reinforced plate on the end of therear spar to snap clean off, taking the outboard 4 inches of spar with it. Does anyone know how to repair the rear wing spar????
Left wing sustained repairable damage to leading edge about 12 inches in length including outboard fuel cell. Winglets damaged but repairable. Even gear doors may be repairable.
Anyone on list have any spare parts for sale?????
