Looks like they would have to be re-bagged and painted... Tell him I'll give him $75 each ($300), and will look into where you are, and pick-up or post.🤔

Yeah, only looking at tails and elevators. Wings would run more like $1,500~$1,800 each.. This is/was a GR912T (trike), so bigger tanks, flaps, and the reinforcing to be a 912 model. I see a 80hp 912 in the background there... I'm only looking for tails to go on a two stroke (basically the same), and they do look a little knocked about 🤔.

Wouldn’t know where to start pricing them🤷🏼‍♂️ I mean if you went to Lightwing for a ‘new’ tailgroup, Mick would probably be looking around a couple of thousand dollars (covered and painted. But for old, possibly (internally) rusty parts, I’d be thinking more like $75~$100 per item🤔 Its one of those ‘how long is a piece of string’ questions…

No rush, just looking for a set for my other project Lightwing...

Looks like two tailplanes and two elevators here... I have jigs to make new tails (mine were damaged in a hangar accident), currently using spare off another hull.

Just out of interest, do you have all the horizontal tail groups, serviceable, and how much?

It is with deep regret, that we inform of the passing of 'Planet47'. She was only 65. Not specific details as yet, but found deceased in a living room, she lived on her own. Name being with held for now. RIP.

Truth is, I looked at that photo (15-10-2019) for a while, trying to figure out why I had that cushion (that's all it is) on the tip? Came up blank 🤷‍♂️ It may as you say, be there to alter the angle of the wing, or it may have been something to do with the holding the ratchet strap buckle off the new paintwork...

Having removed/replaced wings on Foxbats a few times, and generally on my own, I worked out where the CofG of the wing is, and using triangulated ratchet straps, can lift the wing with an engine hoist. Obviously the tank needs to be drained first, but I usually leave the flatiron on (just pull one of the carden ring bolts), and with carefully estimating the weight with the hoist, all the bolts come out fairly easily. I usually stick a bit of masking tape at the balance point (1675mm from flap edge, and 380mm forward from the flap shroud edge), and usually tape or clamp the flaperon level.

I wouldn't claim actual knowledge, just an assumption from the websites (and we all know about assuming...)🙄

There is a Bearhawk LSA, but it is tandem seat, but the photo above does look more like the four seater, however it is possible that the builder incorporated all the 'lightening' features from the LSA into a two side by side version?🤔

I think that is Bearhawk...?

There is a relevant detail in the spec sheets, 90lts in a fibreglass header tank, in front of the instrument panel... Having a few hours in Garry's blue prototype Cougar, there is a noticeable CofG shift as fuel is burnt off, the subject plane also had wing tanks, behind the wing spar. Now throw an extra body in the back seat, and life can get interesting if you're not on top of the fuel system.😳 On a side note, interesting to see a '100LL Avgas only' sticker on the fuel cap, but I guess if it had a home made turbo system on a 912ULS, it may be the case...🤔

Media now saying a Jabiru and Cessna 182; Shepparton News 🤷‍♂️

Oh dear.
