RE: Jet-Tech Maverick conversion
so here´s the story, a client that is a friend as well arrived with a battered mav with fan, and said, could you convert her to turbine? i looked at the poor looking airframe and said, only conversion, no make up on this terrible paint job ok? then he bought everything and kept flying the plane. when Gary Muller conversion kit arrived with the bvm new strnger struts, wheels, brakes etc, he made a last flight with the fan, on the final approach the engine quit and the plane made a roll over a wall, the results will be shown at the pictures....
he came with the remains and asked me to made the conversion! i said, no way, the airframe is lost, i am terribly sorry ! he argumented that spend a lot of money with the conversion extras and had nothing to do with them.....a really sad story indeed.
i had a deep thought and said, ok, i´ll re-do the whole plane, but no time line and no pressure, just forget her here at my workshop ok? he got the deal, after 2 years i´ve finally finished her...below a few pictures of the plane. looks like i´ve managed to make it decent...
