(MASON Chevaillier) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 12:22:46 PM PST US Subject: Commander-List: Parting out N4186B? From: Bruce Campbell 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..
