Can someone help me acquire Pilatus P-2 erection and maintenance manuals (in English)? I am also looking for manuals for the Argus A410.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..

Have you contacted the factory? When I was there several years ago on a sales trip to Pilatus (hydraulic systems) the product support manager told me that they still get requests for old manuals.

Chuck,
There's a guy at Arlington, WA with a restoration/maintenece shop named Peter _____ (sorry). He has a complete P-2 project OK a disassembled flying a/c that was used in the last Indinia Jones movie. I'm sure he's got manuals. Bud Granley knows him well. I'll ask ask him or JCW.

stay tuned

It is for a friend in TX who needs to get the P-2 put back together quickly. It will be publicly displayed after it becomes airworthy.

Peter Houghton, who has a shop at the Arlington, WA , has a P-2 and most likely the manuals. See me a email and I'll send you his ##.

Hi Chuck,
Any luck so far? Have you contacted anyone who has operated the type in the UK? Off the top of my head there's several organisations including Tony Bianchi's and ARCo who have flown the machine and may be able to help. I can search my note for contacts if that's of use - let me know.
Cheers
James
