THIS TAYLORCRAFT HAS BEEN IN THE GREEN BAY,WI AREA, A LONG, LONG TIME ( I BELIEVE SINCE THE 1950"S ) LOG BOOKS APPEAR TO BE COMPLETE, EXCEPT *** AIRFRAME LOG FROM THE 1960"S IS ENTERED AS MISSING *** ORIGINAL ENGINE WAS A LYCOMING, BUT IT APPEARS IT WAS CHANGED TO A CONTINENTAL A-65-8 (# 5075268) IN 1951 OR SO ?
PAPERWORK INDICATE BOTH THE FUSELAGE / WINGS WERE REBUILT / RE-COVERED IN 1978 ?, LAST RECORDED ANNUAL WAS 1987 AND PAPERWORK INDICATES THE STRUTS WERE ALSO X-RAYED AT THAT TIME AND PASSED. TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE THE PLANE HAS NOT BEEN IN THE AIR SINCE 1987 BUT I"M TOLD IT WAS FREQUENTLY STARTED, RUN -UP AND TAXIED.
ALL PICS AND VIDEO"S WERE JUST TAKEN 10-20-2015. THE ENGINE STARTS EASY AND RUNS GREAT (65HP HAND START).THIS AIRPLANE ALSO INCLUDES A TON OF PAPERWORK ( DRAWINGS OF FUSELAGE AND WINGS) AND HR"S / HR"S OF READING MATERIAL WHICH I JUST BROWSED THRU.
COVERING / PAINT LOOKS GOOD BUT IT DOES HAVE SOME CHIPS / STAINS IN VARIOUS LOCATIONS *** PLEASE REMEMBER THIS IS NOT RESTORED SHOW PLANE ***
