Big Sky 4-Aileron Stearman Project
Inventory
12-29-10
Description:
This N registered, disassembled
project is 98% complete less engine, prop and instruments.
There is no major damage and can be renovated with very little
repairs or fabrication of parts. The steel and aluminum components
need to be stripped, inspected, cad plated where necessary
and painted for reinstallation. The rubber components such
as hoses, seals and gaskets need to be replaced. Units such
as brake cylinders and landing gear seals need to be overhauled.
The project includes a complete
four aileron new FAA PMA wing
wood kit and four modified
duster ailerons that can be
altered for the Big Sky Stearman
four aileron STC kit which
is also included with the project. Big Sky technical consultation
will gladly be offered to the purchaser. An inventory follows.
