1947 STINSON 108-2, 2517 TT, 165 H.P. FRANKLIN 718 SMOH, BEAUTIFUL RESTORATION,UPDATES. REPAIRABLE, CHEAP ! WHAT IF YOU COULD GO BACK TO 1946 AND BRING A NEW STINSON 108-2 TO THE PRESENT DAY?
IT WOULDNT BE THIS NICE !
THIS AIRPLANE IS THE PERFECT BLEND OF A FANTASTICALLY RESTORED AIRPLANE AND MODERN SAFETY AND CONVENIENCE UPGRADES !
THIS IS THE PRETTIEST STINSON I HAVE EVER SEEN, IN A SHINY MEDIUM RED, WITH MAROON ACCENT STRIPES !!
THE TOPS AND BOTTOMS OF THE WINGS HAVE FULL SIZE NC NUMBERING ON THEM, FOR A PERIOD CORRECT LOOK!
THIS AIRPLANE IS ALSO THE ONLY STINSON I HAVE EVER SEEN TO BE UPDATED TO THE NEW L.E.D. LANDING AND TAXI LIGHTS !!
THE BEST OF THE OLD AND THE NEW
SINCE THIS IS A 108-2, THIS AIRPLANE HAS THE EXTERNAL BAGGAGE DOOR, BUT IT HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO THE 165 H.P. ENGINE FROM THE 108-3, WHICH PROVIDES INCREASED SPEED AND CLIMB, WITH DECREASED TAKEOFF ROLL!
OUTSIDE THE PAINT IS GLOSSY SMOOTH
INSIDE THE UPHOLSTERY IS BEAUTIFUL MEDIUM GREY LEATHER
THE DASH IS FULLY RESTORED AND THE FLOATING PANEL IS ORGANIZED LIKE A MODERN PANEL, (NOT ONE FROM 1946) AND THE INSTRUMENTS ARE ALL MODERN UNITS THAT LOOK NEW!
SAFETY TOUCHES LIKE THE SHOULDER HARNESS SEATBELTS AND THE WINGTIP STROBES ABOUND
THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IS IMMACULATE AND THERE ARE CHROMED COMPONENTS EVERWHERE!!
THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ALONE MAKES THIS A SHOW WINNER !!
LOOK AT THE PICTURES AND DROOL
TRUELY A WONDERFUL AIRPLANE, VIRTUALLY UNMATCHED
AND THEN COMES THE SLIGHTLY HARD LANDING, FOLLOWED BY A BOUNCE, AND THE AIRPLANE NOSES OVER AND LANDS ON IT"S BACK IN THE GRASS
THE OWNER IS DEVASTATED, OF COURSE
THEY CAREFULLY RIGHT THE AIRPLANE. THE FOLLOWING DAMAGE IS DISCOVERED;
LOWER COWL DENTED
BOTH SIDES OF THE LOWER BOOTCOWL ARE DENTED(LOOKS LIKE SKINS, NOT STRUCTURE)
THE ENGINE MOUNT AND BASIC FIREWALL SKIN APPEAR TO BE OK
THE RIGHT WING HAS SOME OUTBOARD LEADING EDGE DAMAGE AND THE LIFT STRUT IS BENT ON THAT SIDE, BUT THE TOP OF THE WING AND THE AILERON ARE AMAZINGLY GOOD. THE FAIRING IS DAMAGED AT THE INTERFACE TO THE FUSELAGE FROM THE BENT LIFT STRUT, BUT THE TOP OF THE CABIN LOOKS GOOD, AND THE FABRIC IS ALL TIGHT AND NOT RIPPED
THE TOP OF THE VERTICAL FIN AND RUDDER ARE WRINKLED
AND THE PROP IS BENT BACK ON 1 BLADE. THERE IS NO A.D. ON THE FRANKLIN CRANK AFTER A PROP STRIKE LIKE THERE IS ON THE LYCOMING AND CONTINENTAL.
THE REST OF THE AIRPLANE IS STILL GORGEOUS
THE RIGHT WING AND LIFT STRUT SEEM FINE
BOTH DOORS ARE UNDAMAGED
BOTH MAIN GEAR AND GEAR ATTACHMENTS LOOK GOOD THE AIRPLANE HAS MODERN CLEVELAND WHEELS AND BRAKES OF COURSE
THE TAILCONE, HORIZONTAL AND ELEVATORS LOOK GOOD
THE AIRPLANE HAS BEEN UPDATED TO A SCOTT 3200 TAILWHEEL OF COURSE, AND IT IS ALSO UNDAMAGED.
THIS AIRPLANE IS VERY REPAIRABLE, AND WHOEVER GETS IT IS GOING TO BE THE ENVY OF ALL WHO SEE IT!

GOOD BIDDING
AS WENTWORTH AIRCRAFT IS LOCATED IN CRYSTAL,MINNESOTA, NOT…….....VALPARASIO,IND........ ..…….. WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PERSONALLY ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR OR MOVING OF THIS AIRPLANE SORRY.
WENTWORTH AIRCRAFT DOES NOT OBTAIN REPAIR ESTIMATES, AS WE DO NOT REPAIR ANY OF OUR AIRPLANES. WE ONLY FACILITATE THE SALE OF REBUILDABLE AIRCRAFT TO THOSE DESIRING TO SAVE MONEY OR HAVE MORE AIRPLANE THAN OTHERWISE POSSIBLE FOR THE MONEY.
REPAIR OF ANY AIRCRAFT WILL DEPEND ON MANY FACTORS, SUCH AS AVAILABILITY OF USED PARTS, LABOR RATE OF THE REPAIR FACILITY, FAMILIARITY WITH THE AIRCRAFT, ETC. AND WE WOULD NEVER PRESUME TO ESTIMATE THIS NUMBER FOR A BUYER. BEWARE OF THOSE WHO OBVIOUSLY GIVE UNREALISTICALLY LOW "ESTIMATES" FOR THE REPAIR OF THE DAMAGED AIRCRAFT THEY SELL.
THIS ITEM IS BEING SOLD WITH A LOW RESERVE, THEREFORE WE FULLY EXPECT THIS LISTING WILL SELL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER AT THE CLOSE OF THIS AUCTION, SO BID EARLY AND BID HIGH. THERE WILL BE NO CHANCE TO BUY THIS ITEM LATER!!
AS WE SET OUR BUY-IT-NOW SO LOW, MANY OF OUR AIRPLANES SELL BY THIS METHOD BEFORE THE END OF THE AUCTION. DONT WAIT TOO LONG HOPING TO SNIPE IT AT THE END, AND BE DISAPPOINTED !
WENTWORTH AIRCRAFT INC IS THE #1 VOLUME SELLER IN THE USED AIRCRAFT MARKET!
