I BOUGHT AN AIRPLANE! Some Assembly Required 

That’s awesome! I’m a fan of fuel injected vs. carb.

Aircraft have engines, golf carts have motors.

Agreed, I have not found one in the 15 years I’ve been doing salvage with less than 5k TT on it. Most are used for training.

That’s awesome! I’m on the half mile final to 9R! I love having airplanes fly over every day. 😀

I agree

@@south9490I stopped watching after 2 minutes. 😂😂😂

Haha you’re welcome 🤣 I thought the same thing but I might as well make fun of myself before everyone else does.

Those are some good points. I’ve parted out multiple 150 and 152’s and found 152’s are much more valuable with parts-but also as a whole with low time. I feel that a lot of videos I’ve watched of people overhauling or going through an engine don’t talk about the cost. I think it would be a great point to really be open about the cost of the engine to bring it airworthy. The cost of an overhaul and avionics are one of the main reasons why people part out airplanes, among other reasons. I am going to do whatever is the most economical and put more elbow grease into it rather than the “quickest” route-which is usually more costly. Thank you for this comment-I will be making a video about the cost going through the engine. In regards to the wings, even if they’re BER, replacing them will be less than $5k if I had to purchase them but since I have a salvage yard, I can do some wheelin’ and dealin’ with other salvage yards locally.

@@Aircraftsalvagequeen I might have to call you for Piper Pacer parts. I have a 1950 Pacer that hasn’t flown in 24 years. Last annual was in 2000. Engine looks good with cam, tappets, and lifters, just need cleaned up. Top overhaul was only 100 hours ago. Full books and matching numbers. But it’s like an onion. Every time I take something apart I find another thing that needs fixed. I’m planning on doing a complete recover now. Parts are hard to find!

Did yours come with a single piece nose bowl or the two piece?

@@Aircraftsalvagequeen 2 so the hole top has to lift up kind of a pain ,yours look identical to mine from what i can see in the video and looks like the same pain job, i have totally re modeled and up graded and painted mine totally diff plane now.

omg yes!!

LOL

haha! :P

Ya I guess so, but I’ve had worse on me with tearing apart airplanes. It’s not a clean or sanitary side of the business. I’d clean my hands with MEK as a kid-can’t get much worse than that. 🤣

😂

Dang!! 🤣 Ya, I watched it so many times I was sick of the counter.

@@hudsondonnell444 I know man, trust me, I know.

Yup!

Haha last video it was “um” and now it’s “so”. 🤷‍♀️
