General Notes. I have flown 170"s, 180"s 185"s, Cubs, Luscombes, Citabrias, Bird-dogs, etc etc and I have to say that this 140 is a nice clean tame docile little plane that flies very nicely, It"s smooth and well rigged and tracks straight. It was really surprising how well it flew. Very like a 170. It is located in Placerville in Northern California.
Price $23,000.
