If you are looking to go another direction, I have a couple of T-28 projects looking for a home. I have 2 “A” models and 1 “B”. I have 3 Wright 1300 engine cores for the ”A” as well as a 3 blade prop and governor. A lot of work has been done on the “A” airframe and its components. I have a large selection of parts including canopies, control surfaces, components, etc. I wish to sell all as one lot. If you are seriously interested give me a call or text me.
If you are looking for a great Beech 18 project, look no further. In the spring of 2024 I will be bringing my 3NM project down from Canada and will be putting it up for sale. The wings and tail section have been removed and transported to Minnesota and Fuselage is all buttoned up for the winter. I have all the parts to make it whole again! I also have all the logs and bill of sale. It will be priced to sell so get your checkbooks out..
It took months to make the room and a few people lost bets but it’s in the hangar. Being that it is in Superior WI. and it gets a bit snowy and cold it is the only way I can do any work on it at all during the winter months. On tap is removing and overhauling the wing fuel bladders, finishing up the radio work, and replacing interior panels previously removed. Oh yeah, there’s also changing out 1 main tire. I will continue to service our customers with parts for their projects.
Had to put ADS-B in my plane so took the opportunity to put in a whole new panel. Only Steam powered gauges though. It is a Beech 18 and I have my limits. KX 175’s for radios, ILS/GS/VOR and new instruments. Looks pretty!
Had a door laying around that was in fairly bad shape so I went to work rebuilding it. Only thing original is the frame. New skins, new window, new lock set, new everything. It will either go on my project or go up for sale. Either way I will be replacing the outer skin on my original door. Lots of hours in on this! Don’t try it at home..
Well as you can see I have moved along a bit on my project and with the help of the local EAAers have removed the Horiz. stab and the outer wing panels. No surprises, just a lot of dirt and dust. Whats next? Dunno. I will roll her out of the hangar when it gets warm enough here in MN and power was the entire thing. Probably have the boys with the CO2 system come and do a little clean up. Followed by new hardware Primer, corrosion control and whatever else I can afford. Yes, I said money pit.
I’ve actually found a little time to work on my own project. I have removed the Vertical and Horizontal Stabs . When it all goes back together I will be using Chrome plated screw. The present ones are are all rusted solid to the nut plates inside the stab and are real buggers to get out! Grandkids have been helping me remove the cockpit floor as well. It is rotted out below the side windows which were left open before we got the thing. Another horrendous project.
Verticals off at last
Now in stock; Seal kits for the oil shutoff valve
We have assembled rebuild kits for those leaky brake shuttle valves that sit on top of the Goodyear Brake assembly. Includes O-Rings and Washers. No need to keep wiping off Brake fluid if the darn thing is leaking!
Tail Wheel Strut Kit, including all O rings needed.
Fuel valve selector parts.. Gaskets and internal rubber seals.
For those in the colder climes we now stock control rods for the heat selector valve that sits just off the exhaust stack.
New gaskets for your leaky wobble pump, YES.
As you can see, we are not sitting still. We will continue to assemble more kits for you convenience, and are always increasing our inventory.
Gear out there for everyone to see?? We’ve got NOS gear doors- still in the original packaging
Leaking main landing gear struts seals? We can help. We have new kits available that contain all seals necessary to rebuild your MLG strut. Available for C-45, D and Super 18.
If your project needs a "few" parts to make it pretty again, check us out. We have a large selection (over 10,000 line items) of mostly new surplus parts for all beech-18 models and derivatives.
We expect to be up and running in early November.
