WIPLINE 3730 AMPHIBIOUS FLOATS FROM T206G, FLIPPED IN WINDSTORM, SOME DAMAGETHESE WIP 3730 AMPHIBS.
Item specifics
| Condition: | Used |
THESE WIP 3730 AMPHIBS WERE INSTALLED ON AN 86 T206G WHEN NEW IN 1986. THE FLOAT DATA PLATES SHOW MANUFACTURE DATES OF 8/80, BUT WE DON"T HAVE INFORMATION ON ANY PREVIOUS INSTALLATION, IF THERE WAS ONE.
WE HAVE EXCELLENT RECORDS SINCE 1986, AND WE WILL SUPPLY COPIES OF THE ORIGINAL AIRFRAME INSTALLATION AND CANADIAN JOURNEY LOGS TO THE BUYER IF THEY DESIRE THEM
SINCE THE INSTALL IN 1986, THESE FLOATS ACQUIRED ONLY 825 HOURS OF USE, IN FRESH WATER EXCLUSIVELY UNTIL LATE 2015, WHEN THE AIRPLANE WENT DOWN TO THE BAHAMAS
UNFORTUNATELY, THEY WERE STILL INSTALLED ON THE T206 WHEN IT WAS TIED DOWN AT THE NASSAU AIRPORT WHEN HURRICANE MATTHEW CAME THROUGH LAST FALL.
THE AIRPLANE WAS FLIPPED ONTO ITS BACK, WITH IT"S WHEELS POINTING SKYWARD. THE AIRPORT LIFTED THE ASSEMBLY ONTO A FLATBED, AND STORED IT INSIDE, WHICH IS WHERE WE BOUGHT IT, AND REMOVED THE FLOATS.
THE FLOATS THEMSELVES HAVE DAMAGE, AS YOU CAN SEE, MOSTLY SCRAPES AND PUNCTURES, WITH A VERY FEW BUCKLED STRINGERS
THE SPREADER BARS ARE ALL DAMAGED, AND MOST ARE DESTROYED
UNLIKE A MOVING ACCIDENT HOWEVER, THE NOSES OF THE FLOATS ARE UNDAMAGED, AND ALL OF THE RETRACTABLE LANDING GEAR ARE UNDAMAGED,
WHEELS AND BRAKES WERE RECENTLY REPLACED
THE DAMAGE TO THESE FLOATS IS BASICALLY SHEET METAL, AS THE OVERALL STRUCTURE IS NOT TWEAKED OR WRINKLED
MAKE THEM A SHOP PROJECT, BUY SOME SPREADER BARS FROM ED PECK OR OTHERS, AND INSTALL THEM ON YOUR 206 OR OTHER HEAVY SINGLE, OR SELL THEM FOR PROFIT.
LOCATED AT OUR HANGER AT THE AIRLAKE AIRPORT (KLVN), SOUTH OF MINNEAPOLIS MINNESOTA.
WE ARE CAPABLE OF LOADING THESE INTO A CONTAINER (AT EXTRA COST), BUT I DONT THINK I WOULD KNOW HOW TO CRATE THEM, SORRY
WE WILL STORE THESE FLOATS INSIDE FOR 30 DAYS AT NO CHARGE, AND LONGER AT $8 PER DAY FOR THE PAIR IF YOU NEED MORE TIME.
SOLD WITH THE ELECTRICALLY DRIVEN GEAR PUMP AND THE GEAR SWITCH/ POSITION INDICATOR FROM THE T206.
THE T206 IS ALSO FOR SAME, IN ANOTHER OF OUR EBAY AUCTIONS, AS IS THE WHEEL GEAR 3 PIECE SET FROM THAT T206, IN CASE YOU NEED IT.
THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY, YOU STILL HAVE TIME TO FIX THESE FOR THIS SEASON. DONT MISS IT !!
