I'd buy that - if it had the correct nav light lens in it..............

How much is a WHOLE non-airworthy DC3? What percentage of that does a wingtip make?

Right re having the correct light on the port wing and I too cannot justify the 12K  In saying that, I would love to own one! |

Very unique, in both concept and price.

If red is port, Left. Then this is the Right hand - Starboard wing tip as it has a green Nav light.

Good point bobajob. I hadn't thought of that.
Although hard to tell in the photos, the undersurface is going to be much flatter isn't it?

Going by the greater camber of the top surface and the curvature of the face of the aileron cut out it is a left wing tip.
Someone has put a RH nav. light cover on it.

I have a first stage hub off a V2500 engine that is going to become a cofee table base. It weighs 65Kgs and is made of titanium. When new, worth 300,000$us, now only scrap value. All i need now is the glass top.

I am looking for a piece of glass about 1 metre in diameter. I am trying to score the front and rear blade retaining rings as well.

Twelve-grand for a little piece of DC-3 wing??  What a rip-off....I'm fairly sure Phil Parker picked up ZK-BKD for nothing when he uplifted it from Rotorua and moved it to Gisborne to stick above the wine bar he owned at the time. He even transported it to Gisborne on the cheap. He talked some ex-Fieldair engineers into removing the wings (outboard of the engine nacelles) for him, then they lifted the tail up and put the tailwheel into a little cradle they had made on the back of a truck and towed it from Rotorua to Gisborne during the wee hours of the morning, including through the Waioeka Gorge with no oversize load permit. I guess techinically, the DC-3 was an unregistered articulated trailer with no number-plates, no warrant or certificate of fitness and no working brakes....a real number eight wire do-it-yourself job. The wings followed on a second truck. That was back during the days when the MOT cops handled road-policing and they all went to bed at midnight. What they didn't see, they didn't know about! You'd never get away with that today!! ;D |
