Airplane Restoration Business turns out to be a chop shop, selling airplanes, parts and projects left for restoration, Owner found guilt of fraud and looses his FAA license and continures to do business under a new name

Aircraft restoration business owned by Mike Williams and doing business as www.mikeshangar.com & www.biplanebuilder.com took a project airplane in to be restored in 2004 and accepted another flying airplane as payment for the restoration porject. After 2 years and no progress, and Mike Williams being arrested 2006 I got a court order to take posession of both airplanes. Very little was done to the project in 2 years, and what was done was not done to FAA requirements and was found to be unsafe and dangerous.

The airplane that was traded as payment was sold to a 3rd party who had not taken posession, therefor it is now a legal issue as to who ownes it. I obtained a judgment against Mike Williams but the airplane is grounded till the courts determines who ownes it. While Mike Williams flew it he installed an illegal autopilot, installed mis-matched cylinders on the engine and made incorrect entried into the log books.

Mike Williams has been convicted of theft, has dozens of judgments against him over the past 10 years, has either parted out of not finished in excess of 10 other projects, lost his AI & AP licenses, and has moved and continues to advertise and take in more project and deposits without intending to finsih them.

Mike has a 20 year history of the exact same business practices in the auto repair business prior to going into the aircraft retoration business.
