There are a few known issues so please be sure to read the appraisal closely before bidding. This appraisal was completed in May 2015 - if you cannot view it send an email with an email address and we"ll send a direct linkI spoke with the donor at length, he is in his 80"s and doesn"t fly anymore due to health issues. He tells me he would regularly taxi the aircraft and lift the tail. When he brought the tail back to the ground, he would not have control, and the tail would "get ahead of him". The tail would end up on the pavement, and he felt it to be too dangerous to attempt to fly. Due to his age and medical condition, he decided to donate it. He spent a lot of time and effort on this, and I am sure he would be happy to meet with the new owner and share his wisdom!!There are no maintenance log records or operating manuals for this aircraftThis plane is in Rensselaer, IN and is not available for viewingWe will be selling this aircraft with a FAA bill of salePlease ask all questions PRIOR to bidding This will sell at NO RESERVE !
