Hi fellow builders... would you like to have a part in helping to train girls to build Zenith aircraft in West Africa?


As we prepare our training workshops for expansion we are looking for some goodies that you may have laying in a corner waiting for a new home in Ghana.  Our current expected needs are as follows:-

1. Clecos

1/8" (copper) 800 - 1000    

5/32" (black) 800 - 1000  

3/32" (silver) 400 - 500  

3/16" (gold) 50 - 100 


2. Toggle / finger clamps : 25 of each... 


3. Cleco-clamps - 25 


4. AN fuel fittings 3/8" various (there must be a good collection out there unused in drawers)


5. Metal files, flat, half round, round, various


6. Aircraft grade (Tefzel/ MIL-W-22759/16 / MIL-C-27500) wiring - various guages and colours, minimum length of one yard per piece, must not be 'mangled').


7. Aircraft suitable electrical connectors - various


8. Working aircraft instruments :- Airspeed indicators in kts (0-120kts), Altimeters with mbar or Hpa windows (not in/hg, sorry), Vertical speed indicators, slip balls, Northern Hemisphere compass, etc (we use Rotax 912 and Superior XP-360 engines).

9. Other aircraft electrical items - breakers, switches, keyswitches, etc

If you have something that you think could have a life giving inspiration, please let me know.... shipping would be to an address in the USA, UK, Belgium, Brazil or Germany (depending on where you are) where it would be 'collected and carried' over the coming months to Ghana by volunteers.... or perhaps you would like to volunteer to come out to help with our projects?

Jonathan,

I've got probably a couple hundred copper clecos, probably 100-150 silver, and a few black clecos, along with a never-used glareshield mount northern hemisphere compass, a slip indicator, some mil spec wire, and a few various aircraft quality electrical connectors I can send. I'm in the U.S. Where would you like them shipped to?
