Re: ALEC Deposit/W.S. 66 Fix Order Form
Fellow T-34 Owners,
As we have entered the home stretch regarding the ALEC AMOC's final testing and completion of the certification, we are now (again) accepting deposits against the kit of ALEC parts. We are requesting a $2,500.00 deposit for the kit with a total sales price of $10,000.00. (Estimated installation is $2,500.00). This deposit is non-refundable, but transferrable to another aircraft that might order this modification at a later date, whether you find that person or they might come to me. We just want to be sure that as we order parts at this point, we will have a place to put them. We now have over 100 T-34s in line to install this modification.
It is our current understanding that the FAA is preparing to release a one year extension of the May 15, 2010 date referenced in our AMOC to A.D. 200425-51 which we have shared with the fleet of T-34s at no charge. As a condition of that extension, the aircraft will have to have a deposit in place and a scheduled date for the installation of an approved modification such as our ALEC at one of the approved installation centers.
Unless other AMOCs have been implemented or are planned, in order to effect long term compliance with A.D. 2001-13-18R1 and return the airplane to its original flight envelope, our "W.S. 66 Fix" needs to be installed on the rear spar of the wings, assuming either the T-34 Spar Corp. Doubler Plate or Nogle and Black Common Spar has been installed on/in place of the Main Wing Spars. These kits are available today for $2,500.00. Installation of the "W.S. 66 Fix" is estimated at $2,500.00 and takes about a week, if no problems are noted.
To place a deposit, please complete the form and send a check with that information to T-34 Spar Corp., 2800 Airport Rd., Ada, OK, 74820. Orders will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Feel free to call me at 580-436-4833 if you have any questions.
Best regards,
T-34 Spar Corp.
