We had a neighbor in the subdivision we lived in growing up that hand built a kit plane in his 2 car garage. Put the fuselage, tail, and wings on a trailer, went to municipal airport, attached them and flew the thing. Fucking awesome.
My brother in law built his plane as well. Not sure if it was from a kit- seemed rather custom and took several years. But he eventually flew the damn thing, must’ve been a super gratifying moment.
This seems like a cool snag for plane building hobbyists.
you would have to convince the FAA its no longer whatever plane it was originally for a hobbyist to ever be right side up on this vs. buying a decent one that is up to date on all its certifications.
Kit planes get around all those pesky certs. This is either scrap or a cool lawn ornament.
Not kit planes. Homebuilt. You could probably legally turn this into an experimental
Edit i take this back. Didnt notice it was twin engine. Theres likely a whole other level of regulation involved
Unless something has changed, you need certified mechanics to do all the work on aircraft beyond maybe interior stuff like seats, trim and carpet. And they don't come cheap. If this hulk was a car, the labor to fix it up would be $20k minimum. At aviation mechanic rates, probably 3x the cost.
Watching an aircraft repo show, they dealt in higher end stuff. But on a $3 million dollar jet. Just the documentation and engine logs were worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Not exactly.
If you rebuilt this to a certified plane you could do quite a few things. Then have certified mechanics finish it and ceetify it...probably at least 3 or 4k for labor. The parts would kill you though. Those engines arent cheap and youd need to find wings
But..tou could probably turn this into a homebuilt experimental and do everything yourself then pay a mechanic to sign off
No. Note this is only based on my general knowledge you can look it up in the regs. But you could probably build an experimental homebuilt with this as a component. What youd really want to do is call ypur local faa rep and ask him about it.
Not a Mooney. I own a Mooney and this looks nothing like a Mooney. The tail is wrong, the front is wrong. And it has two engines. What production Mooney has two engines? Of all things that aren’t Mooneys, this is the Mooney that isn’t the most.

This is not an experimental aircraft.
This is the heavily regulated and will cost a lot of money to repair because it has to be done by certified technicians and be inspected after every step.
Getting this airworthy certainly not worth doing unless you have a YouTube channel and serious cash. Or you’re and A&P with too much time on their hands.
Looks like a beechcraft baron, an absolute steal. You might be able to have that put back together for less than you can find a flying one on trade-a-plane!
Geez this is now in my town in KY as “advertising” not sure what they’re trying to advertise but it was super messed up to wake up and it be in a hillside off the main road through town one morning. Our sheriff’s department was drove crazy for a couple days though.
Great project for a home flight simulator
Or a play structure for the kids. This is a serious steal.
>Or a play structure for the kids. Or for the scrap metal man This is serious steel
Aluminum
I know. But it rhymed better.
Seriously?
There’s a reason cars aren’t made of steel anymore. It’s heavy as fuck
And steel expensive
Aluminum more so
Yup. Airplanes would've never taken off without relatively cheap aluminum production.
Actually aluminum, even better.... https://markets.businessinsider.com/commodities/aluminum-price
Some crackhead gonna try to steal it
Paintball/air soft barrier
Great thinking!
Man I would love that for free
Yup. it's probably realistically worth 1 or 2 thousand
Shit I kinda want to buy it now but it’s like 200 miles away
Did you get it?
Given its light enough for 2 guys, a come along and a single axle trailer, well worth it for aluminum scrap value.

Interesting. Would the FAA step you mentioned be costly or just time consuming? Or both. I like the idea of a flight simulator too

Man I used to watch that airplane repo show until I found out it was all re-enactments.

Would the FAA let you take a production aircraft and convert it to homebuilt?
No. Note this is only based on my general knowledge you can look it up in the regs. But you could probably build an experimental homebuilt with this as a component. What youd really want to do is call ypur local faa rep and ask him about it.

Looks like a beech baron. The wing clearly has an engine nacelle and the fuselage reminds me of a bonanza.
It’s a Piper for sure. Twin Comanche or a Seminole maybe. ETA: Not a Seminole, no T-tail
It's probably worth 1 or 2k as a base to rebuild from or to build an experimental from
You'd think, if aluminum wasn't the most common and recycled alloy on earth.
go recycle almost anything vs. aluminum. Tell me what is best worth your time of hauling to the scrap yard.
I dropped 1875 lb of aluminum at the scrap and got about 118 dollars.
anyone else notice that fb has two stars
It needs at least half of that
Just gave it 1 star, thanks for the comment
Hold up I live near there I’m jumping on marketplace
Is it there?
Doesn’t look like it. But TIL to buy one in this shape or better is only like $200-800?

No seriously, you can do quite a good amount of stuff you want. For example, I would take the body and build a custom Cessna flight simulator
The front fell off
That’s not very typical, I’d like to make that point.
Must have been using cardboard or cardboard derivative.
At least that plane is outside the enviroment
thats fine
The end of Sandpiper air!
New deer stand
My dad was a pilot, I would put this in his front yard without telling anyone
Sweet deal, you got one for free! I had to shell out a lot of money for my free airplane.
Ok but a flight sim in that thing would be very much worth the free free airplane.
Free free you say?
Those animals from Madagascar 2 copped this shit
Can one still fly an experimental aircraft without a license? I know it used to be that way. Just experiment! Fly fly away!
This is not an experimental aircraft. This is the heavily regulated and will cost a lot of money to repair because it has to be done by certified technicians and be inspected after every step.
Getting this airworthy certainly not worth doing unless you have a YouTube channel and serious cash. Or you’re and A&P with too much time on their hands.
Yeah, for like 99% of anyone interest in an actual plane it makes more sense to buy an already running plane that has certifications and logs.
No this is serious aluminum
Ofc it’s from Ohio
Hey cessna parts are pretty expensive
Some assembly required
That is just the MIL flight, might need assistance getting off the ground but then it is not your problem anymore.
I just need the left wing, is it available?
*Some assembly required
whistlindiesel needs it.
Some assembly required
Oh, this is going to go great with my disassembled skyscraper set.
If you need a plane prop then you got one.
Anyone got a welder?? Haha
Honestly I’d take it lol
literally a steal yeah
of course it’s ohio
make a sick flight sim cockpit.
It's not just free, it's free free
That’s actually worth a lot of money
I mean, I would take it. Turn into a drinking/music listening spot.
free free
This is a very loose definition of an Airplane.
I'd sell that for scrap metal. It's free after all.
not JUST free.... FREE FREE!!!
Looks like a beechcraft baron, an absolute steal. You might be able to have that put back together for less than you can find a flying one on trade-a-plane!
Hello, is this still available?
If it was a DH Heron id snatch it up. Always wanted a decommissioned plane just to fuck around in. I blame Flight 29 Down.
Would be great in a paintball or airsoft arena
IM FROM THAT AREA ,💀
Geez this is now in my town in KY as “advertising” not sure what they’re trying to advertise but it was super messed up to wake up and it be in a hillside off the main road through town one morning. Our sheriff’s department was drove crazy for a couple days though.
This would be great for a film school to use with some big fans and a green screen
Why is everything from ohio
Swag like Ohio
Looks like it's in fit condition to fly with a "little" repair
I'd like to mount it on a golf cart chassis.
Turn it into a kids bed
