Well, I wanted to let everyone know that I'm now the official owner of 680RR. We completed the pre-buy over the weekend with Morris and my new mechanic in Athens TN and found a few problems that need to be addressed. I was hoping to have it flying in time for the September Flyin but not sure I will. The hydraulic system failed when landing in Oklahoma on Sunday and our ferry permit ended on Sunday so had to leave it there while we get another permit.
We found some extremely nice people that put it in their hanger and cooked us ribs and gave us beer for the night. The problem was found in the left rear wing nacelle. Morris found us the part and we should have it tomorrow. Hoping to get it going this weekend.
Other issues we found are the props are not cycling very well at all and need to be rebuilt and the tops of the nacelles have a good number of patches on them and need to be torn off and redone. Hoping we don't find more problems once we take it apart.
The left engine is leaking a ton of oil but it appears to mostly be coming from all the hoses. Its also leaking fuel from both engines but appears to be coming from the intake manifold rubber connections. Â
The right side of the fuel tanks are leaking and we're not really sure where it's coming from.
The skydrol lines are leaking a little in the connections but looks like we just need to replace the o-rings in the connection lines. Â
The pressurization system is working but not very well and according to Morris is most likely the door and window seals having the wrong seals installed on them.
There is also burnt oil on the #3 cylinder that we've cleaned and going to keep an eye on so time will tell on that one.
I'm also going to have to replace the GPS and screen in the plane with something I can fly IFR with because it's all VFR only equipment and is really old.
I'm extremely excited about my life long dream airplane being this close to my home base, but at the moment it appears I'm 4 or 5 months out before I'll really have it. If it was in annual I would go ahead and get signed off in it, but since we have to tear it down for that, it makes sense to try to do it all together.
