Salvage

As a cruiser of the various salvage sites, I found this one interesting for several reasons.

1. Wonder what the story is on the accident, as the field looks to be pretty open.
2. Additional Condition 2 is understandable (not providing FAA Bill of Sale, as it is a Canadian registered plane).
3. Additional Condition 3 seems a bit odd. The other plane on their salvage listing says nothing about removing the dataplate and returning it to the manufacturer. And I had not noticed this condition before on any of their previous salvage listings.

Value of that salvage just dropped a whole bunch. Unless you are needing an AS-W20 rudder or canopy. I guess that is better than the salvage recovery "specialists" that use saws to remove wings from gliders.

Those folks don't know how to sell salvage and manage to get almost nothing as a result.
I'm not sure why they put barriers in to make it harder to restore to flying condition. It just makes it a much bigger pain in the butt.
They probably will report it destroyed, which adds another irritating hurdle.
Dumb.

My understanding is this accident was a result of an improperly
connected elevator. Fortunately, in this case, the pilot has the
opportunity to learn from the mistake.

Thanks, Luke. I have seen one of these as it happened, and the aftermath of a couple of others. Not a good thing to see. Glad to hear the pilot lived to learn.

Then, there is the PW-5 on AIG... Wonder how big the field was?

At least these guys don't remove data plates.
