Sweet! Rehabbing my Experimental was quite a challenge enough, I can't imagine a full restoration on a Certified... (I'd probably end up HAVING to live in the hangar if I buy ONE more project! 🤣🤣🤣) Nice work on the interview vid dude! 👍 Congrats on a great restoration Martt!
Great video! I’m living the truth of rebuilding from the ground up, a 1946 Stinson 108-1. Yes the budget will be blown and restoring a certified aircraft can hit you hard as non certified gauges that were installed in 1946, will have to be replaced with certified gauges today. Thanks FAA, NOT! Anyway I like explaining the truth about the challenges but all in all it is fun to do! Cheers.
Whatever was originally installed in the aircraft is part of the original type design and may continue to be used unless replacement is required by an AD. Aircraft Type Certificated under CAR 3 like the Stinson are not required to conform to 14CFR Part 21 or 23. They must conform to regulations in place at the time of original certification. For the Stinson this is CAR 3. Have your old gauges repaired if needed and put them back in.
@@rescue270 well no overhaul shop will certify the non-certified gauges from the 40s, and all AIs are protecting their backside and insisting on TSO'd products. I have tried all the ACs on vintage aircraft parts, NORSEE 21.8, owner produced parts and still end up that the easiest path with less risk of some IA in the future shooting down the plane is to install certified gauges for engine
@@wareairaviationservicesllc4933 I heard it straight from a DAR: you do not need TSO stuff for your particular airplane. If your IA is being obstructive, find one who knows the rules.
Wait till you restore a vintage jet! Not a cheap task by any means, I'll have to send you some pictures we are pulling the wing off of a T-33 on Monday so we can trailer it to a new airport and hangar to finish it.
Engine re-build costs have gone out of site lately! It's very easy to buy a project airplane then not be able to afford a proper restoration or maintenance. Beautiful super Cub !
ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS takes more time and money than you expect it to! But if you're reading this, don't let that stop you from going after it, it will all be worth it in the end.
For everybody who is wanting to restore a certificated airplane with wood structure- DO NOT USE EPOXY ADHESIVE!! Epoxy is fine for a homebuilt, but it is not approved as a general repair adhesive for certificated aircraft. Resorcinol/Cascophen are the only wood adhesives approved for repair or restoration work on certificated aircraft unless the airplane was originally certificated with epoxy adhesive, such as a Waco YMF-5C. If it was built in the 1930s or 40s, it will require Resorcinol in order to be legal. Lots of Stearmans are flying around with unapproved adhesive in their wing structure. I suppose you could obtain engineering approval for epoxy, but that would take time and money and it's easier to simply use Resorcinol. The last thing anyone needs is some nazi of an IA to report the aircraft you just spent 4000 hrs restoring as having unapproved adhesive. Coating all the Resorcinol joints with epoxy varnish is a good way to protect the bond. Epoxy varnish is allowed.

Thanks for the feedback. FYI- from experience living in a hanger isn’t so bad!

Thanks for the feedback. Certified gauges for sure$$! You also have to remember to embrace the process!

I can only imagine... sounds awesome 😎

So true... This is a very good thing to keep in mind!

For sure! You Should remember to embrace the process and make the most of each phase too.
@@Blaircraft.Engines Absolutely, wise words. And honestly something I didn't do enough of. Next time.

Definitely something to take note of here. 👍
T-88 and west systems epoxy are approved for repairs on certified aircraft. Saying they aren’t approved IS NOT TRUE.
