Looking to borrow an ASW-27 horizontal stabilize in SW USA

Hello all, I had a ground handling incident yesterday and damaged my elevator. Looks like a month or more for repairs. :-(

Does anyone know of an ASW-27 that's idle at this time so I could borrow the horizontal stabilizer?

I've checked with Rex and he's pretty sure this can be done without issues.

I live in Tucson, AZ.

Thanks,

Check with the insurers to get names of businesses that have purchased wrecks.

My old 27 survived the Byron mid air relatively intact. The elevator was in good shape as far as I could tell.. However I am not sure how well the recovery company handled it and who has it.

It's the left. I've left a voicemail and emailed you.

Thanks!

Now I'll get to fly the OLC week tasks at El Tiro next week - May 21-31.

Hank also saved me when I was desperate for a 27 canopy frame. Thanks Hank for keeping junk around which may come handy someday!

So I ended up borrowing a horizontal stab from a friend in CA, but unfortunately, it doesn't fit. So I put his elevator on my stab and that also doesn't fit. Looks like I would need to remove about 1-2 mm to fit my wider elevator drive.

The repair to my damaged elevator should be complete in 3-4 weeks, so I'll just fly club ships when I get the urge.
