I've been asked by someone to mention here a 320 kit which he would like to

sell.  It is a '91 Fast-Build, and based on what I was told it sounds like

there's probably 10-15% of the airframe construction completed.  (Fuselage

currently inverted, main gear installed, gear doors cut out, etc.)  The FB

option in '91 included much of what today's FB does, and I believe the

biggest differences are that none of the capstips were installed back then

and that some of the fuselage work which is done today wasn't back then

either.  Additionally this kit pre-dates the MKII tail, so it has the

original small one.  This gentleman's dad passed away in May of this year,

the kit was his baby, and now the estate would like to dispose of it.  The

project resides in the far south suburbs of Chicago and has always been in

a heated garage.  The pricing is negotiable, naturally, but he would like

to get $22,500 for the kit and will credit any broken or damaged parts

which must be replaced.  Right off the top the canopy falls into that

category, and I'm sure an additional allowance would be made for the

replacement of all the epoxy and structural adhesive.  There are also a few

thousand dollars' worth of tools available which they will sell with the

kit, pricing to be determined based on just what the buyer would like to

pick up along with the kit.  If there's anyone out there interested in

pursuing this further, please contact me via private email

(marvkaye [at] olsusa.com) and we can start down the path.

Marv -

   I been reading all of the comments regarding compression of

fiberfrax/SS when tightening the engine mounting bolts. The construction

manual I used acknowledged this and noted that the fiberfrax could be

relieved locally (by hand, using a 2" hole saw) in order to install two

7/16" area washers under the engine mount pads. The washers are exactly

the right size and worked just fine! Why  would anyone do it

differently? The only valid comment modifying this approach was using a

2"circular piece of 1/4" phenolic in lieu of two washers...for weight

savings. Any weight saving would be minimal and I'd personally feel

better having steel washers there vs. phenolic.  Well, HOW DO YOU LIKE

MY EXCELLENT FORMATTING NOW!!! All I had to do was to type full lines

and let the software auto-format. Send me your U.S. mail address and

I'll send some nice photos of my plane and engine installation.

[I guess I missed the comment in the manual about the area washers, but I

like the phenolic idea, personally, also the idea of waiting until the

entire firewall layout can be planned and then prep all the holes similarly

as required.  



Your formatting looks great now, and my address is 209 Labelle Ave., Fort

Myers, FL, 33905-2521.  I'll upload whatever photos you send to the LML

Attachments area... thanks for the offer.  <M>]
