Mike Wiebe Parts for Sale

These parts come from Rex Hume's Falco, which was put down into a river in Northern Canada after an engine failure on its way to a new home in Europe. The plane was deadsticked in with little damage and thankfully the pilot was rescued with no injuries. With my father's help, another Canadian Falco builder recovered the project with the intention of using the parts for his own Falco. Alas he died before accomplishing much.

I now have the parts. I have cleaned, inspected, re-alodined/zinc'd as appropriate and packaged the parts for sale. While I provide no warranty as to their fitness for use, you can see from the pictures that they appear to be original Sequoia parts and have cleaned up very well.

All parts are for a 180hp Falco with a standard canopy. Any kit listed as "complete" has all major components as identified on the Sequoia shipping ticket. Typically, AN hardware will be missing, or included for sizing but not usable.

Price is 50% of the currently listed Sequoia kit price for "complete" kits, with a discount provided for kits that are less than complete. In summary I am offering about $60K of Sequoia kits for about $25K. This is a great deal if you are willing to go find your own AN hardware and fabricate a few missing pieces.

I would prefer to sell all the main kits shown as a package. However, I will entertain the option to sell kit by kit if there is no single interested buyer. I have more detail available by kit, as well as pictures and componentry lists of each kit. We can also use video to walk you through what I have.

I am located near Niagara Falls Canada. Pick up or shipping can be arranged.

The canopy survived initial recover well. Then a tree fell on it...

Bonus:
For anyone interested in a package purchase of the above, I will throw in the following for free:
Various metal plates and fibreglass fairings, including all wing trailing edge fairings.
Full gear doors and equipment from kit 810-3. Fibreglass parts well damaged, most linkages and all attach fittings intact.
Firewall and cowling mount flanges from kit 813-1, excluding the cowling.
Minor amounts of engine instrumentation, but lots of plumbing fittings from kit 815-3.
Engine baffles from kit 817-4, which are functional but not pretty, and probably best used for trial fitting.
These parts will be available for the 'right price' if the person buying the overall package doesn't want them.

Additionally I have available:
O-360 Exhaust system -- clean and very good shape.
Spinner and backplate for Hartzell compact hub prop. Small scratches.
Cleveland 40-78B wheels and 30-9 brakes. Brakes in great shape, wheels OK.
Disassembled O-360 A1A engine. Let's talk and I can tell you the history.
All engine accessories and the propeller.
