My father bought this Champ in 1993 and gave it to me in 2007 on the condition that I would completely restore it after it had been sitting in his garage for 15 years. We have the full history on the plane and all documents showing its life in WV as a trainer for the Simpson Flying Service of Philipi, WV.
I"m selling because my partner and hero (Dad) is no longer able to enjoy this with me due to health issues.
I welcome all serious inquiries and I"m happy to provide copies of log books that we have since new. Not interested in trades or crazy offers. Aircraft is hangered at Jackson Co Ravenswood Airport (I-18) and is available for inspection with appointment. I"m flying the plane almost every week with current and thorough annual completed on 6/15/17.
