LS-3A Parts Needed

[Bob Youngblood]

Our club is in need of LS-3A fuselage control parts. We have a damaged LS-3A fuselage for a rebuild project that was damaged in a hurricane. Sad news is that several fuselage parts were removed and lost. If there is a LS-3A fuselage out there please let me know. Bob, Treasure Coast Soaring Club

When you go to the barn, JJ, mind looking for any LS6 cockpit parts you might have?

I remember that ship. As I recall, it has a horizontal stabilizer you spliced together out of two right halves, since it turned out that the section is symmetrical. Or maybe left halves.

Thank you very much, I will get the bird out of the trailer and take a look at what is missing and then list what we need. After the hurricane damage someone took several components out of the cockpit and they are not to be found, any assistance is greatly appreciated. Bob

There is an LS-4 up for salvage bid here in Phoenix. Are any of these parts useful to you?

After an accident people assume the ship is totaled and are capable of doing some incredibly stupid things. We got a Cirrus that someone had hack-sawed the aileron push-rod into, right next to quick release fitting! Then there was the G-103 that ground-looped which bent the aft carry-through bar, this put the wing attach fittings in a bind and the wings wouldn’t come off! Club members used a pry-bar on the release fittings...................that little bit of stupidity really did total the bird!

We bought a 1-26 that was declared a total loss because the salvage guys, there to collect a Blanik, tried to drill the main pins out of the 1-26 that was next to it! They were not even at the right ship.
You can not think this stuff up.

We do need a rudder, a canopy would be nice and the control linkages that connect to the stick. I have had some replies, and thank you very much. We want to get this bird in great condition again for our youth program. Bob
