“Flys great, about 20 hrs since restoration”
Make: Aeronca Model Year: 1943
Very Rare Opportunity to own a piece of history!This L-Bird seen action as a Glider Pilot trainer. It was used to train the Glider Pilots that flew on D-Day!Interesting facts:Very complete logs from the time it was converted for civilian use in 1945 - Restoration completed January 2015- Total time on Airframe Since Restoration 20 hrs (since new 1957 hrs TT)- Total Time on Engine Since Overhaul 298.04 hrs ( since new 2310.79 hrs TT)- Cylinder compressions (Cold test) #1 74/80 #2 77/80 #3 79/80 #4 79/80 - Engine upgraded from 65 hp to 75 hp- Next Annual due 1/30/2016- No AD"s- Wood Senensich propeller W72 CK42 (Total time since new 221.4hrs)- Qualifies in its current configuration as Light Sport- As Warbirds due, it qualifies as aerobatic- It has all the necessary paperwork to put a C- 85 if you desire (Tank is already in the wing)- I fly it often so times may change So to recap the information This is a Warbird (Not just a plane that was painted that way) That qualifies as Light Sport (No Medical To Fly!) It was/is a trainer (you can learn to fly in it!) Just restored (So it is like having a new 1943 Warbird) It is Certified as a Aerobatic plane (So the fun never ends!!!)
I am looking for a low time Pitts S2B (Certified) If you have one of those I maybe interested in trading! Current date: 2015-08-22
