alant Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 We have been rather busy doing the annual inspection and engine frame inspection on yet another Chipmunk G-BCPU and we have almost finished a 50 hour check and engine change on G-BXDI. The engine has been rebuilt by CFS at Coventry and cost around £30K so I hope the test run goes well. It must be flying this week as it is flying in the air display for Buckinghamshire Armed Forces Day at Aylesbury Rugby Club. Then back to the rebuild of RH as it has been pushed back with all the other work that comes along. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Hopefully the test was a good one. Enjoy the display!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian L Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 Have just started on a little project for a customer. We are rebuilding a DHC-1 Chipmunk that has not flown since 1993. I will be inspecting the airframe over the next couple of days and if anyone is interested can do a few pics and updates as we progress. Alan www.aircraftservice.co.uk Hi Alan Where is your workshop ? at a strip or a larger airfield ?

alant Posted June 18, 2011 Author Share Posted June 18, 2011 Hi Ian We are renting space at Cranfield to do the Chipmunks but have smaller workshops at Tring and Princes Risborough but no strip. I do the permit renewals on a few aircraft at White Waltham and Booker, If you want to have a look see sometime let me know. The no strip bit may change soon. Just off to Booker to do the permit on G-AISX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
