The Man wants to begin work and has a parts airframe and some parts from the other model (140 or 120) and wants to know if he can simply use the parts without having to get field approval. I think that they are interchangeable but I don't really know. What Gives? One particular item is the landing gear. It seems to me that there are alot of 120/140s that are being restored after having been stored for many years after fairly minor damage. A good friend is in the very finishing stages of restoring a 140 after 50 years! It was flipped and not damaged very bad. My friend says that he did something every year to the plane, sometimes it was just to move it from one side of hanger to the other. It is a sure prize winner and I really salivate when I go to his hanger. Blue Skies, Steve Dortch Former 150 owner (and I would like to get a 150/140/120 sometime in the future.)
