We recovered a 250 a few years ago that had been hangared unused for over 35 years. We removed the wings for transport. I’m glad we did as when we were reassembling we found major chafing of the fuel lines from the wings to the fuselage as well as evidence of arcing on some of the wiring looms.

Done right. Glad you fired it up. Maybe jack it and swing the gear, just to be sure. All things considered, it is in great shape.

[@christophergagliano2051]

@@BrilliantDesignOnline actually you just want to get a ferry permit and leave the gear down during that flight to the A&P school. Let them do the thorough annual inspection That would be the most cost-effective and safest way to its destination.

[@boogerwood]

Yes!!! Another Comanche! Love the paint scheme. Regarding your leaking oil comment, my Comanche doesn’t leak. I swear they’re just so over engineered, they’re the best plane Piper ever made. And of course the Lycoming O-540 is such a great engine.

[@billmorris2613]

I am a retired A&P mechanic. In all probability this aircraft, because of how long it has been out of annual, will need to do a lot of work and at least nearly a complete annual before the FAA would issue a ferry permit. I don’t recall hearing exactly how long it has been out of annual, but it looks like at least a decade or more. It may be cheaper to pull the wings and possibly the horizontal stabilizer and trailer it the 300 miles to the school. Then let them reassemble it.

[@remowilliams8118]

I used to be pretty good at LVDC(low voltage direct current). After establishing power, there are three faults you need to look for and understand the difference. An open, a short and a shunt. An open can be either hot or ground but without damage is often a bad ground, a short is always hot to ground, and a shunt is two or more hot wires making contact. If you turn your lights on and your wipers come on too there is a shunt between the two circuts.

[@dandunlap8638]

A tripping breaker is more typically caused by a short to ground causing a circuit overload. A bad ground can in extreme cases cause an overload if arcing, but it won’t normally cause an immediate trip. The rodent damage is much more likely.

[@bobsmythe9106]

Give the old vertical to an A&P school. A great way for students to learn and practice sheet metal skills without making costly mistakes on an actual airframe.

@kylertinkler1860 Well this was a very experienced pilot so you need to look at the feathering mechanism on the propellers.

[@kylertinkler1860]

@ had a 15k hour flight instructor tell me once that the worst thing you can do is get to comfortable when flying. Experience breeds complacency and complacency will kill you. Prelim NTSB report said that witnesses and surveillance footage showed that sam didn’t do a fuel check after getting 80 gallons of fuel and he also skipped the engine run up. It takes about 5 minutes to do both and unfortunately it can be deadly if you skip them.

[@christophergagliano2051]

Did you look at the video when they did the annual on the cougar, it appears they never checked if the feathering system on the propellers actually worked and that would cause serious drag if one engine failed, and that's a fact

That IFR hood brought back memories of 1977 when I took a biannual flight review with Helen, a friend of Charles Lindburg and the Wright Brothers. I had a Bellanca Tripple Tail and she thought I was instrument rated. She started the IFR flight review almost as soon as the wheels left the ground, and I passed. When someone her age, who has been forced down 16 times, and she tells you how to survive you listen. Fortunately I never needed her lesson.

[@JamesSmith-op7yc]

She's a good airplane."DGA". I learned to pilot/fly light aircraft in a Cherokee. A Comanche is faster. A Beauty. I never needed high performance licensing, my hours are all fixed gear, VFR but now I'm genuinely envious. Man you know she will fly like a champion. Really, I love your new airplane.

What a beautiful airplane. It's definitely not a rebuild Rescue plane; there are no nests. I'm sure that paint will buff out. 😜 In all seriousness, thank you for another awesome Saturday morning. Take care everyone. Be safe.

[@i.r.wayright1457]

There will be a mouse nest in the belly, below the floor pans. They will nest in one spot and (acidic) pee in another. You will find corrosion, even though there is zinc chromate paint on the aluminum.

[@christophergagliano2051]

I'm confused, why are you going through the expense of an annual inspection when you can check the log books for AD compliance, do a very thorough inspection and engine run up/taxy test and then get a ferry permit to move the aircraft to the A&P school. Then once it's at the A&P school let them do the annual inspection under the supervision of a mechanic with IA privileges. That's how you should approach this project.

[@i.r.wayright1457]

A ferry permit requires someone to sign off that all ADs are complied with. That is not going to happen, without extensive work. For instance, there is one on the stabilator torque tube. Good luck getting the stabs off if it has a lot of rust on it. And if the rust is bad enough, say hello to a new tube.

[@christophergagliano2051]

@i.r.wayright1457 Well you don't have to do any work until you actually do the AD check in the log books, maybe that AD has already been complied with? But certainly it's cheaper to do a AD review of the log books then doing a complete annual inspection of the aircraft.

[@chipsawdust5816]

@@i.r.wayright1457 All ADs do not have to be complied with for a ferry permit; only the ones that prohibit flight before compliance. I've done countless ferry permits and sometimes we fly with an open AD.

[@stanleybest8833]

The Collins radios can be upgraded from hot wire displays to LED's. Good plane upgrades are all around LED lights, and a Zeftronics regulator. Sensible rebuilds are new magneto condensers and the fuel bladders have aa lifespan to them. You pull them out to the repair business. I'd flush out the brake fluid. It absorbs water. Repaint? Naaah.

The battery box is NOT in perfect condition. There may have been a battery left installed over winter and froze up, cracking the case. The corrosion evident at the lower back corner indicates there may be some damage to the belly skins and/or longerons. If that is the case, it might require those lower panels to be removed and damaged parts replaced. BTDT on an Arrow. We got it in time and only had to remove some skins and treat every part that had acid on it with baking soda. The battery boxes are supposed to be sealed and leak proof with drain tubes installed and venting out the belly. Sometimes they corrode off and then you get those white crusty deposits showing up.
