Just an update. Dan contacted me with a recap with what's been done and preparing for the ferry flight back.
Engine inlets have been pulled out, repaired and repainted.
The brushes on the prop heaters have mostly been fixed. LH outboards are not heating up and going to half voltage, despite the slip rings being good. The guy at Twin Commander LLC now think it might be a bad lead from the timer, so they're going to try to trouble shoot that. I could let it slide for now, but I think it's better to try to complete these very type specific conundrums at a place where they have expertise. So I've said go ahead to try to fix that, despite me or the world not really having great economy right now.
Cabin pressurization has been progressing. They changed some duct clamps and could get 1+ psi out of it on first try. Then with sealing the floor with tape it jumped to 3.3psi at Max Flow rate. They've found some taped and leaking inlet ducts at the back of pressure bulkhead. Unfortunately, they can't repair them and would need the replaced, but the lead time is 16 weeks for those. I've said go ahead and order them and lets do it right. I know they want her out of there and my finances are tight, but now in the summer months I don't mind if she sits on the ramp until part arrives. I think getting pressurization nailed down is important, because she would get her interior put back in after the ferry flight which would make any fixes inside cabin a pain to deal with after that happens.
So, that's where we are now. If all goes to plan, should be able to hopefully get her out of there by end of summer. Recently, I've really been itching to go flying again. Need to get up to speed. Can you fly with instructor 6ft away from you?
