To fill in those of you who have asked, today our Percival Prentice has a running motor that has been realiable on every start!! We are quickly on our way to a flight. Still months off, but HUGE step to get an upside down motor that spins backwards running again!
Flight control cables are good to go, minus some re rigging. Surfaces have been redone few years back.
Flaps check, Air Compressor Checks, "Most" guages check, mag run but we will be getting them redone once we are ready to fly regularly. The same goes for the prop.
Annual is continuing on. Repairs are continuing on. No corrosion anywhere that isnt fixable quickly. Last owner did a great job on coating all surfaces inside wings & fuselage.
Hoping to find someone(s) who would like to volunteer to help strip her down and repaint her back to her original RAF color scheme or back to the paint job she had back in the early fifties, white top half, light blue bottom half.
Heres a pic of her recently during her rebuild, and one of her in the early fifties.
