Apache has been down for some much needed maintenance and upgrades. Right now We are having two garmin radios put in and a GTX 327 XPDR. I also had Aztec ram horn yokes put in which looks awesome. My IA and I had to replace one cylinder on the right engine due to exhaust port crack/corrosion. I had to replace an exhaust stack on the right engine as well. We pretty much have it all together and should be doing our ground checks next week!
I still have the elevator off to repair a crack in the elevator butt spar which there is an AD on. I am bringing that to a repair facility this week sometime.
Looks like I will be flying her next month. Cant wait. Its been a long 6 months getting the plane sorted and honestly she still needs struts rebuilt and the gasket on the right main tank replaced, but at least I will have the majority of this stuff knocked out.
It amazes me how much little stuff some owners let go. When I got the plane the left generator did not even work and all hydraulic landing gear hoses were probably 25 years old.
