Minimum Recommended Hardware
for
Ferguson Airport
Hardware Total Cost is $2074.42
These recommendations are based on what I believe would be a minimum requirement list of hardware to maintain aircraft only. All at a minimal initial cost. This would exclude any major repairs that may arise. This list is not all-inclusive of all hardware that may be needed to maintain aircraft but I believe it will be a good foundation. All quantities and pricing are from AircraftSpruce.com
These parts can be found for less from other suppliers but I would avoid SkyGeek.com. I've had many unbelievable issues with them. Example: It took an extra two and a half weeks to finish the Annual on Bob's Dakota because SkyGeek.com couldn't get a $15 part to me in a reasonable amount of time. This was a part they had in stock but didn't ship it out until five business days after I placed the order. I put "Avoid Them" by their link in my Bookmarks.
Click on the links below for each type of hardware. You'll then see the quantities and costs of the hardware I recommend in tables on each page of available hardware of that type, copied from the Aircraft Spruce website. Click on the links below the tables on each page of hardware to order the parts from Aircraft Spruce.
