      I have a B model SN390 in need of a few items. Looking for the seatback, rear tail cone and Instrument panel and any other bits. My cockpit area is a blank slate (totally stripped) so I need pretty much everything. Any chance some of you have some of the items and are willing to part with them? I know K&L likely has all but figured Id look for used first.

      • I believe 390 was last flown by Vern Hutchinson. Sorry about it being stripped. Did you get it from I last saw that it was sold from a non-aviation auction house. Was that your source? When you say totally stripped, did that include controlls, floor panel, etc.?

          • Hello Robert. Yes I bought it from the auction. Likely upside down a bit on the price with the current condition, but not too worried about it since getting it flying is the main goal. The cockpit area was likely removed for upgrade or some work prior to the owner getting dementia and when the auction lots were done I imagine the instruments, panel and other missing items were auctioned off as “box of parts”. I am trying to find a person familiar with 1-26 structure in Los Angeles to have a look at it since the few phots I sent to others caused a flurry of this is not good… Any chance you know someone in Los Angeles willing to look at it? I pulled it off the trailer yesterday and got it inside my hangar at KWHP just before the rain so its ready to be looked at. I plan to take some more pics soon.
