WASP Stage 2

final completion – may 2022

Engine runs and operational checks of the de-ice boots were performed. Fast taxi tests have been completed.


Final completion – may 2022

The final charging and testing of the AC system has been completed.


FINAL COMPLETION – MARCH 2022

The area around the vertical stabilizer de-ice boot has been repainted. Final touch up polish is in work. The air stair door has been installed with chain covers. All seats have been installed with the USBs wired. A replacement airworthiness certificate has been issued, correcting the category to Aeronautical Bulletin Amendment 7a.


FINAL COMPLETION – FEBRUARY 2022

The update images provided here show the finishing touches to the final assembly of the restored aircraft. The de-ice boots are completely installed and the team are adding finishing touches to the hardware and “cap strips”. The main cabin door has been fully restored and is now installed. The “door chains” have been wrapped and stitched by hand in black leather. The flight deck has been fully assembled at this time – all systems have been operationally checked and the aircraft is ready for flight. The principal elements of the cabin interior (seats, couches and credenzas) have not been installed at this time. We are scheduled to accomplish FAA flight testing of the Air Conditioning system next month and we have decided to leave the cabin “bare” to prevent the possibility of wear and tear during the numerous test flights that we expect to accomplish.
The WASP is essentially complete and awaits only an administrative process prior to delivery.
