About Our Services

We perform major & minor repairs, complete restorations, annual inspections, STC’s & custom modifications for all fabric aircraft, though we specialize in the Piper fabric line. While most of our restorations utilize the Polyfiber process with either Aerothane or Polytone finish coat. We also do any FAA approved process including traditional Dope and Fabric. References are available on request.

Each aircraft is disassembled, uncovered and inspected. All parts are inspected for wear, damage, and corrosion, and brought back to airworthy standards by repair or replacement per owner request.

Standard restorations include :
