Slingsby FireFly brake master rebuild
The FireFly in for an annual and avionics upgrade. The seals needed replacing in the brake master. British, probably one off engineering item!
Robin HR200/120B Wing Spar Change
In on an annual and the wing spar was found to be exfoliating. The third one of these we have replaced. After a frame is put in to support the fuselage, it’s wing off and remove 400 plus rivets. Spars are sent from New Zealand where a version of the aircraft continues to be made.
Seneca Propeller Overhaul
Seneca in for maintenance including magneto and propeller overhaul.
Grumman AA1
This wee Grumman AA1 in very nice condition, needed an annual and ARC. Interesting aircraft with some build material combinations that need a closer look, the fuel tank/main spa and the aluminium honeycomb wing bonded together. Wing trailing edge is bonded metal. Cowlings in fibreglass.
Piper PA22-135
This Piper PA22-135 was booked in for an annual. A quite well used but solid and well looked after machine. These Pipers are often underrated but are very capable classic aeroplanes.
Service and Oil Change Cessna 310
Prior to a sale a service and oil change was required on this rather smart Cessna 310.
