Testimonials:
We had a customer here in Tennessee that needed a flap for a Beechcraft
Baron. We contacted Select Airparts and made arrangements with them to
send us a serviceable one they had in their inventory. Select did a great
job getting it down to us in a timely fashion. We had it within two days
from Virginia. We took a close look at the flap when it arrived, and all of us
were amazed at how great the repair work was. I even called them and told
them how impressed we were. It was a good experience from start to
finish. I would highly recommend the work done by Preflight Repair Services for
Select Airparts on any control surface repair. Select Airparts also has a
professional, courteous staff. If any questions arise, they can cover them
in knowledgeable detail.
Jeff Sasser, International Parts Network
We maintain several Beech Barons, and have been dealing with Select Airparts
since 2003. They have been very helpful and professional in all our needs.
We find their pricing competitive in today’s market. Their same day
service is most important in keeping our aircraft flying. We would
recommend them to other Beech owners and operators.
Lewis Barrett, D & G Aero LLC
Select Airparts has been a fantastic supplier of parts for my 1959 Bonanza
and my 1963 Beech 18. The Select staff is knowledgeable, helpful, and
quick to assist. When they did not have the part I needed, they provided
me with another supplier’s contact information. We Beechcrafters are very
lucky to have great parts suppliers like Select Airparts.

John suggests asking for Jeff or Sean.
Here's his public pirep:
I rebuilt all my gear last year. I used parts acquired from Avstat although I
think Performance Aero also sells such a kit. I hate to give away my very best
source but I must say that you will NEVER find anyone more knowledgeable about
Beech parts than the two guys that run Avstat.
During my rebuild I discovered that some items on my nose gear were
non-standard. After I explained, they described what I was seeing. I agreed.
They sent all the correct parts. They have so much parts info in their head
that it's just amazing. And I've called them late in the afternoon with my usual
crisis and they still got it to the FedEx man before he came by ... and I had it
the next day. Their prices are just slightly below RAPID or well below. If they
don't have it in stock, they will know who does and can arrange to have the part
sent from that source without you having to do anything but wait for the
delivery man. they even drop ship parts from the RAPID facility to you if they
don't have it.
You just call them and they take care of it.
Now how much better than that could it get?

O'Halloran Aviation
Beech Lister & Debonair Owner, Kevin O, sponsor of the
Bonanzas
to OSH Margarita Party and many other Beechcraft camaraderie events also traffics in many hard to find Beechcraft parts.
He can be a good place to
start for leads on who in the Beechcraft parts community might have what you
need. Kevin also visits many salvage auctions to secure important parts for the
Beechcraft line.
From time to time Kevin has
been known to have:
-
Landing Gear Scissor Bushings
- Landing Gear Motors
- Beech TAS Airspeed Indicators
and many other tough to find Beech Parts!
Long before it was fashionable to change
landing gear rod ends, Kevin was advocating doing this preventative maintenance
item because he was getting lots of calls about gear collapses due to rod end
failures.
Rumor has it, Kevin was also a part of the
inspiration behind the production of the
ABS Landing Gear
Inspection Handbook. For $25 it's a phenomenal guide for you and your
mechanic to have on hand.
Email
him with your parts inquiry.
For all Kevin does for the Beechcraft
Community every day of the year, A BIG THANK YOU!
