Alan,  I'm curious how much scrap aluminum you end up with from a typical airframe?

None , I give it to my friend who helps me out..... He gets about 125 dollars worth...

Is the data plate for sale?  Or do you keep those like some kind of trophy?

I don't sell data plates , I destroy them ,   I can not think of any legal reason someone would buy a data plate.....  I can see building a P51 around a data plate ,  not a Mooney...

Dibs on the gas caps. Looks like you don't have the gadget that holds open baggage door, or I'd say that too.

Send contact info , I have a baggage door prop laying around I think from another donor...

WRT the propeller salty- had Hartzell S/N CH81 on my old propeller. It was orgional to the airplane. Finally, was out of limits at overhaul 2 years ago. My blades are from 67 and still passed. I wouldn't want that prop unless I was going to hang it on the wall.

I don't condemn parts I know nothing about , you see I know nothing about that prop , so I am 100% sure you know absolutely nothing about it...... It will go to a prop shop and get checked out.....  A good blade is worth 800 to 1000 dollars ... 

[Marauder]

He is begging me to take it , needs the hangar space...  Might get a handy in the process...
 

I hope you get it out of there soon. I'm headed back over this weekend.

Because the data plate from the first E would look nice framed and hanging on my walll. I have zero interest in building a plane and I doubt the FAA would consider it legal if I tried.

Fair enough

Does that mean you will consider selling it to me?

[Alan Fox]

I will consider it, I will not include logbooks though..

[M20FTraveler]

I could use the door linkage, if it's available.

Logbooks never even occurred to me. I wouldn't want to pay shipping on a bunch of scrap paper anyway.

But now that you mention it, I'll bet Bill Wheat's signature is somewhere on the first couple pages of the airframe log.  Would you consider including that page? That would look really nice next to the data plate.

No wheat signature ....

Does it have a hat rack?

Yes , yes indeed...

[Culver LFA]

How about J-bar and associated components to convert electric back to manual gear?

[Marauder]

Same here. Good luck with the E.

For those wondering, this E, even if it was the first is way, way, way beyond bringing back. It sat on grass for years and years.

My C does not have a hat rack, and I'd love to add it. I'd be interested in what you'd want for the pieces, as well as some pics of how it goes together from the back side. 

Thanks!

What do you mean doesn't have no hat rack? Then what's there? Just a solid wall up from the back of the baggage area to the ceiling?
