Hurricane wing pickups - cost

Posted by Elliott on Sun Dec 14, 2003 10:02:30 AM

I was speaking to someone heavily involved in Hurricane restorations this morning - he tells me a brand new pair of lower wing pickups for the Hurricane cost a whacking ?10,000! They are made on a CNC lathe.

Okay, I understand you pay a premium on airworthy metal etc. but surely once all the settings are in the computer, it should be relatively cheap to make things via a CNC lathe.

Any comments on this from people who maybe know better?
