Hi,

I'm looking to see if anyone has a spare Skyfox Gazelle aluminium aileron hanger available - source 4 but need 5 to repair right hand wing.

SOLD

Thanks

Hi All

Sadly my gazelle was destroyed in the recent floods in Lismore NSW

I just thought id put it out there if anyone was looking for airframe parts and/or spares this could be good. i suggest it would not be considered a repairable thing unless your wallet is as big as your dreams.

Really gutting for me as it was under repair and had alot of work done prior to the flood.

has a few new items that could be worth saving.

-New Coastal aviation bungee undercarriage ( total of 4 landings on them)

-New engine mount rubbers.

-Spars are undamaged (Wing structure is)

-Both Doors newly painted with fresh Smoked Lexan Windows.

Cowlings have repairable damage

spats where off the aircraft and unaffected.

one strut assembly was off the aircraft and seems to be undamaged.

Have more photos and happy to chat

If anyone is interested let me know happy to discuss preferably looking for the whole thing to go together but open to parts being sold individually

Thanks

And last question, ('till next time), can anyone suggest where a person could buy the rubber donuts that go in the nose wheel strut?

 

Hi Mate

Get onto Coastal Aviation they just supplied me with engine mounts and should be able to supply donuts.

Hi Thanks

I don't suppose you had a drawing or some measurements?

Straight edge is fine just the curve i am really after.

Hi All

I am putting it out there to see if anyone has a aileron rigging jig for the CA25 Skyfox gazelle?

Physical one i can borrow, a set of drawings to make one or a lead on more info?

Cheers

So the engineering is done and casa has done it's part if not without holding up the proceeds.

Hi all
