How we do it
Standard Restoration - The aircraft is completely disassembled with removal of all control surfaces, wings, landing gear, tail feathers etc. Old fabric is stripped and the airframe is inspected for both corrosion and damage. To better inspect the integrity of the steel it is sandblasted to bare steel with needed pieces being epoxied, primed, and painted. All damaged, worn, and unairworthy parts will be replaced as needed. Aircraft will receive new wing leading edge skins & trailing edges, windows, windshield, skylight, control cables, wiring, standard AN hardware, landing gear bungees and wingtip bows. Finally our standard restorations always include a fresh annual inspection (337s filed when applicable), revised weight and balances sheet, and a review/reorganization of aircraft paperwork.
