Amazing.

Did your money make you angry, or something? Trying to figure out why you are making it go away so quickly...

:P

Seriously, what a project. Wow.

Not as expensive as you might think - I'm doing all the work - I bought a bunch of surplus Ti tubing that cost me less than stainless . . . .

However, I've made the electroless nickel plater rich - spent a bunch having all the light plates rescreened as well.

Dee, I understand that there is available for purchase, a hydraulically-powered creeper that will allow you to comfortably lie on so you can work on the underside of your beautiful aircraft. I think I saw a video of it somewhere. Amazing... You might find something about it if you do a search on BT.
Sorry about that 99.

Oh no you didn't...

You did, didn't you?

:lol:

Amazing work Dee, just amazing.

My S211 came from Haiti, but never flew there - Chuck Thornton bought all 6 that went to Haiti in the late 80s, but sold 4 to Singapore, and 2 remained in US - mine is one of these - about 600hrs TT on it.

I recently imported 5 more for friends that were surplus to the Singapore AF - they were in Perth, Australia. There were a total of 20 aircraft that were sold - most of them made their way to the US.

Great little aircraft with JT15D-4C engine (similar to Citation) - Martin Baker MK10 0/0 ejection seats, pressurized, air conditioned - super easy to fly. Fuel burn not too bad - about 60 gal / hr at 280 (RVSM limited). Cruises at about 340 knots, will do 350 knots on the deck on a cool day. Not the best performer, but economic for a jet.

Hi Dee,
Instead of my earlier posting about the EZ creepy thingamabob, I should have commented on your aeroplane. As an engineer I am absolutely gobsmacked at your attention to detail and focus on such high quality work.
Good on you, mate. Well done.

Hi Dee, can you please tell me where you bought the Ti tubing. It's as dear as poison in Oz and I have a job for a client where we'll need some. Is there also a source for the fittings? I don't have the time to make them.
