My brother and I picked up a nice 57 Cessna 172 for his flight training. While tied down at Falcon Field (FFZ) in Arizona it suffered elevator and rudder damage in a wind event. Estimate from repair station says elevator and rudder needs reskin, but their shop estimate will total the plane insurance wise. Yes, we are under-insured on hull value.
Pictures right themselves once clicked.
Anyone have a lead to give me on a mechanic that can remove the elevators & rudder so I can ship to a reskin shop, then be the reinstall mechanic? Yes, we're also looking for serviceable replacement parts, but if you have a lead on those I'll take that too! Thanks.
