    Engine install and Elevator Repair

    Remember the firewall that was being repaired last week? Well, in the past week the nose gear and rudder pedals were reinstalled, the engine was mounted, and the engine baffling was repaired and installed. Currently, the engine installation is being finalized and the panel is getting a GPS to replace the useless LORAN unit that was just taking up space.


    After replacing a worn flap bracket on a Beechcraft Baron 55, our resident sheetmetal expert finished re-skinning an elevator that was damaged when the aircraft was backed into a hangar by an unattended tug. Notice the custom-made jig holding the elevator straight. This is one of several specialty jigs we have in the shop to ensure that all of our repairs are as straight and true as factory new.

      Installing engine is one hell of a thing to do. The thing is it gets difficult some times to deal with the engine and all. Such an amazing stuff to read..
