The Restoration of N9271U The time has finally come to restore 71U. She has served me well over the last 35 years. She is still a fairly young bird with only 3100 hours TT. We found a crack in the engine case and just pushed her aside meaning to get back to her and never did. Well the time has come to get her back in the sky The Engine time SMOH is only 400 hours. The case has already gone off to DivCo in Tulsa to be welded. All components of the lower end looked really good. The cylinders will be looked at and cleaned. All other components will be inspected and installed. She already had has new back windows and new carpet installed. Also the new style Horner wing tips have been installed. The new plastic came in a few days ago. 71U will receive all new plastic interior. New seat belts. New windows with side glass. New leather seat covers. All new radios. New LED lights Thinking about digital engine gauges. Right now she looks to be in rough shape after years of storage...

Well 955 is finally getting close to getting out of the paint shop. It takes time and patience to get a plane painted. I would rather them take their time and do it right. From the pics everything looks good so far. There are a few mistakes and the painter is going to remedy them ASAP. The horizontal stabilizers and the elevators are supposed to be solid green. There are also supposed to be strips on the wingtips. Also the new seat are going in. We should pick her up this week. Then she is off to the avionics shop to get her IFR transponder re-certified. Who ever heard of a C-150 that can shoot a ILS?
