Rebuild Projects
Rebuilt they fly again, broken and bent
aircraft get a second life.
What it took and the FAA form 337's and field approvals used.
Aircraft sustained substantial damage in at a remote landing site when the pilot over ran the runway on landing. Aircraft nosed over damaging noose gear, firewall, forward belly, cowling, prop, engine, both wings and rudder.
After assessing the damage the aircraft was deemed rebuildable. Factors for consideration, rebuilding this C-182 plus a new engine and prop would have cost more than the aircraft would be worth but since I have an IO-470R and prop off the C-185 rebuild I can mount these on the C-182. With the increase horsepower and a rebuilt aircraft I might turn a profit.
