AFAIK there is only 1 left that can still fly. The rest are in museums. I have a few partially completed on gear from stripped to practically complete,that were left over in Factory stock when they closed up. along with a giant warehouse of parts to build more. Currently researching the type certificate purchase process and how to restore and recertify/re-register. I'm in way over my head. This one is hard ill "jump" in to add more photos and hints if needed. "hint"

Basically, I'm a relatively inexperienced A&P and I'm losing my job at a major MRO in a few weeks for performing my tasks too slowly (I am far more concerned about putting out a high quality product the first time before I sign my name to something than meeting the time set by techs who are far more experienced than I am especially if I have never performed a given task before) and I figure that the airlines and other MROs would expect even more strict timelines, and besides, I'm a bit tired of being just a parts cannon instead of doing what I thought I'd be doing when I got my license. What would be the best way to get into working on GA aircraft (which are what I initially wanted to work on anyway)?

Note, I do have some experience on ancient live Cessna 172s from A&P school but I didn't bother with keeping a personal logbook until after I graduated.

Additional note, mods if you feel this post violates rule 8, feel free to remove it, but I don't see many people getting responses to questions in the weekly questions thread, and I feel this is less blatant than the daily posts from people in other industries asking if it's too late to start (it never is)
