After about 40 hours on my newly re engined baby, was just about ready to put the floats on!!! The Chief Pilot who flew with me the first 10 for the insurance, asked to use it for some personal proficiency. "Carry your own insurance, fill the fuel, don't bend it". 1st landing attempt.
He's fine. Pride wounded. As the chief of a 141 and 135 operation, it's a rough go. His pride is healing faster than the bird I fear. Trying to get a parts list together for the wing from lift tubes outboard. Build manual is pretty vague I fear. Obviously motor needs a tear down. And new IVO prop. But most concerned about the bent left fuse attach point for gear.
Having trouble attaching more than one pic. Watch for subsequent posts for balance of the horror story.
Son of a........!!!!!!!
