| Subject: | Parting out N4186B? |
I'm not sure, but there is the possibility that 4186B might not be a
total. But it would be very near one at any event. With that said, I'm
still worried about repair cost, risk and insurance, and wondering if
the best route wouldn't be to sell as-is where is to someone who could
carry on the process of restoring it, or contribute its parts to the
continuation of some other 520 or 560.
Either way, does anyone have a clue what a "reasonable" value for the
plane would be. (Lets assume that the spar isn't bent. If it is, then
the plane will definitely be a total). It has new front seats, the
engines are high mid-time. The props are disassembled for inspection,
and all the blades are good (they need new clamps and hubs, though). The
paint isn't very pretty, but its not flaking. There is essentially no
corrosion. Pretty much all new flight instruments.
Of course, someone ran a fuel truck into the wing, which will require
new control surface, sheet metal work in the wing, at least a control
linkage inspection and probably replacement of the cable with possible
repair of the pulleys....
Hence I would not sell as an airplane, but as parts. But parts are
getting hard to come by..

bc, i would be interested in the rear bench seat and the mounting hardware
(ie bolts and nuts) not the rails. PCAA mason
