airframe rebuild, engine and avionics upgrade
SU29 Sukhoi
This SU29 Sukhoi suffered from an engine out due to a fuel system failure and was landed off field on a gravel road. Unfortunately, the plane veered off the road into a ditch and took out 3 fence posts, with its right wing eventually ending up on its nose.
Background
Innovative Wings Inc. assisted with the recovery of the aircraft. The post recovery inspection we performed for the insurance company revealed that repairs were required on the right wing leading edge and that the engine would need to be rebuilt. We then set about performing the needed repairs.
The Build
During the recovery the wing was removed and then once in the hangar the engine was removed and sent away to be rebuilt. During the course of the repairs the owner decided to upgrade the avionics, the fuel system and the smoke system. Innovative Wings completed the repairs and upgrades, reinstalled the rebuilt and upgraded engine, and then turned the Sukhoi loose with its excited owner at the controls. The aircraft exceeded all expectations in climb and speed performance.
