  • We had to flip our Piper PA-28 235 on its side to access some of the belly that was damaged. We hooked it to our hangar crane and slowly rotated it to reveal the damaged area. Joe and Greg started the removal process of the damaged area while Jason and Harrison went out to Raystown Lake to check on the camp. Jason decided to put the camp up for sale since he hasn't had much time to visit it with all of the projects we have going on.

    As a former team member for a NASCAR Late Model team, I would have loved to have one of those rivet removal attachments for the drill... could have saved hundreds of hours! Love the rescues... keep 'em coming! IRAN vs rebuild... I think it comes down to what you want to provide for your customer. There is obviously added value in the rebuild.Thanks for the update on the 5th wheel. Hello to Jason, Joe, and the whole gang. Great work!

    If $10k gives you an extra 1000hrs it's a no-brainer for any potential buyer. As far as a seller, it also give you more profit since engine time is the biggest difference between plane costs. I don't think this is much of an arguement.

    You guys have the right ideas and are doing thing correctly. Yes, things do have costs, but it will be a lot easier to sell the plane when it is finished. You can say that the plane was taken to its elements, things were correctly fixed, and new parts were used. Like new is better than jerry-rigged. Keep up the good work!

  • @ual737ret
    @ual737ret Місяць тому +2

    With all due respect to Jason, I think he needs to be more careful with his pre purchase evaluations. Also, I think that he has far too many irons in the fire and is spread too thin. I would love to see him and his crew focus solely on the 401 until it is finished and flying.

  • @dougpartington1843
    @dougpartington1843 Місяць тому +2

    With all the work you are doing already, I think a zero hour motor would be more appealing to a buyer. The sale price will be a little higher, but in the long run, it is a more cost effective option for the new owner.

  • @user-cn2jp2uu6c
    @user-cn2jp2uu6c Місяць тому

    Jason, I think the Iran option is best in this case in spite of the JB weld because they’re going to replaced as you mentioned all the gasket seals bearings so and so forth! And for the cost offset, and with all the other repairs being done, the Iran is more than sufficient.

      You’re right, but it depends on where you put it because even some areas when you have vacant land they’re not permitted so you have to be mindful of that.

  • @callen6893
    @callen6893 Місяць тому +2

    Have the shop do a basic inspection prior to doing anything. Have them figure out what’s behind the JB weld and if it’s a major issue. If the crank and compression are fine do the iran to it. 1000 hours is still a ton of flight time. This also saves you money which also allows you to sell at a lower price.

  • @michaelthomas3646
    @michaelthomas3646 Місяць тому

    I was in a car mechanics course, and had one guy replace the gasket, then the following week noticed the sump leaking so using what would be JB Weld equivilent here in the UK to try stopping the leak never worked as could never find the pin prick so ended up just smothering the entire engine in JB Weld, would have been a real headache when he decided to fix the problem, not to mention the amount of money spent on buying enough JB Weld to try stopping the leak. far cheaper and easier to get it done the right way first time.

  • @alivingfaith

    Go for a full overhaul on the engine. The cost to pull it again, and the time is better spent now. You are fixing and updating the airframe, and avionics, don't short on the engine.

  • @johncrechiola1592
    @johncrechiola1592 Місяць тому

    I think if you are looking to move this plane more quickly, then go with the IRAN but I think more people will be interested in a complete overhaul, in the long run that would be more cost effective for the person looking to buy. Lots of added value in an overhaul, like what a few people have said already. I just saw the oil thing because of the engine leak, for sure do the overhaul.

    @ReNeu60 Місяць тому +1

    if you can sell it faster for less money and it there is still a good bit of fly time on it might be a good way to get a person into flying the plane that might not for the extra money up front. For you it is a matter of making x amount of profit to keep things moving. It is not cheaping out the buyer will know he has so many hours until a full overhaul is needed.

  • @Nord3202
    @Nord3202 Місяць тому

    All you had to do was drill out the 2 forward center hat sections, cut the damage skin out & section in a new piece of 2024 T3 skin over the original. Drill & rivet to the original holes. Replacing the whole skin still requires a 337 form. You cannot tell the difference on both repairs. Our firewall had to be replaced, we found a NOS firewall that was cheap. Use steel rivets on the firewall like Piper did.

There's nothing like having extra time because NO project like this is going to finish in the time allotted. It will alwayys tax (x) more days than expected.
