| “Used 36 year old airplane selling at no reserve. Great airplane, but cosmetically challenged paint. Please inspect before buying.” |
| Make: | Beechcraft Skipper | Model Year: | 1980 |
I am selling my Beechcraft Skipper N3740B that I purchased about two years back to use at my flight school. Plane had been in hangared in Indiana for many years and hardly flown. We did quite a bit of catch up maintenance over the past two years to get everything flight line reliable. Rebuilt carb, new slick mags, wires, plugs, tires and a few electrical gremlins. It has been a reliable airplane with a strong engine that doesn"t leak or burn excessive oil. We have put about 200 hours on it since purchasing.
Airplane is currently hangared in Galveston TX KGLS
Total Time 3964
Engine SMOH 1515 by Piedmont 1989
Propeller 221 Since overhaul
IFR Certified Pitot/transponder due 8/16
Serial # WA186
Compressions:
1- 68/80
2- 70/80
3- 74/80
4- 68/80
All logs since new. No known damage history. All AD"s complied with.
o Exterior -The paint is original and it shows. A lot of touchup painting on this airplane. My A&P did scuff and paint the top of the wings. It does look better than before, just not up close. o Interior - New glareshield and fairly new carpet complement a largely original interior. All glass is in really good shape.
o King KX170 B CDI with glideslope
o King KR86 ADF
o King transponder
o King Audio Panel KMA24 (wow! Full King panel!! Imagine no expensive and frustrating database updates. Fly like we did in the good old days with one VOR and an ADF!)
o Sigtronics two place intercom
o Vertical Card Compass
o Davtron Electronic temperature gauge
o Ram Mount on right side for tablet
o Bruces cockpit cover
Cruise about 95 kts and burns 5-6 gph. Like most two place trainers it can get overloaded with two bigger guys up front. Useful load 473.9
Known issues - electric clock is inop and I believe the turn coordinator is on the outs.
I have tried to describe everything as best I can, that being said it is a 36 year old used airplane. Please don"t purchase and then come out to inspect to see if you like it.
I"m sure I forgot all the important details. Email me and I"ll be glad to answer.
Thanks
Kevin
