THIS IS A GOOD LOOKING 250 HP COMANCHE !!
CLASSIC SCHEME, WITH RED UPPER, A MEDIUM BLUE STRIPE THROUGH THE MIDDLE AND WHITE LOWER AND WINGS, BUT THE PAINT IS BRIGHT AND LOOKS GOOD
THE TAN CLOTH INTERIOR ALSO LOOKS GOOD, ALTHOUGH IT IS CURRENTLY PARTIALLY REMOVED IN ORDER TO REMOVE THE WING .
WHAT?
WHY IS THE WING REMOVED?
AFTER A NORMAL LANDING, SOMEHOW THE GEAR FOLDED UP ON THIS PLANE DURING ROLL-OUT. HISTORY TELLS US THIS IS ALMOST ALWAYS THE PILOT FLIPPING THE GEAR SWITCH UP WHEN HE MEANS TO RETRACT THE FLAPS, NOT A MECHANICAL FAILURE, BUT I WASNT THERE, SO I CAN ONLY REALLY SPECULATE!
WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THAT THERE IS NO SCRAPING DAMAGE TO SOME OF THE BELLY SKINS, AND YOU GUESSED IT, THE 2 BLADE PROP IS DAMAGED ON BOTH TIPS.
THE SCRAPING STARTS AT THE SCOOP ON THE BOTTOM OF THE COWLING, AND GOES BACK TO ABOUT THE MIDDLE OF THE CABIN BELLY
THE NOSE LANDING GEAR DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE DAMAGED, BUT THE NOSE DOOR IS SCRAPED
THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE WINGS, MAIN GEAR, MAIN GEAR DOORS, FLAPS, AILERONS OR TIPS !!
THE TAIL AND TAIL FEATHERS ARE GOOD, EXCEPT THAT SOMEWHERE ALONG THE LINE THE RIGHT HORIZONTAL STABILIZER GOT A SMALL LEADING EDGE DENT.
THE AIRFRAME TOTAL TIME IS A VERY, VERY LOW 2,984 SINCE NEW !!!!
THE 250 H.P. 0-540 6 CYLINDER LYCOMING ENGINE HAS ONLY 1005 HOURS SINCE MAJOR OVERHAUL, AND THE RECOMMENDED TIME BETWEEN OVERHAULS IS 2000 HOURS, SO THIS STILL HAS HALF IT"S LIFE LEFT !!
THERE IS NO PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO THIS ENGINE, CARB, MAGS, ETC. AND IT IS COMPLETE WITH ALL ACCESSORIES, BUT EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO POWER ON (HE WAS SLOWING DOWN TO TURN OFF THE RUNWAY REMEMBER) THE ENGINE ETILL REQUIRES AN INSPECTION. NOT AN OVERHAUL BECAUSE IT ONLY HAS 1005 SINCE MAJOR, BUT AN INSPECTION.
THE DASH IS MOSTLY COMPLETE, WITH ALL FLIGHT AND ENGINE GUAGES, AN OLDER NAV-COM WITH INDICATOR AND ADF, PLUS WIRING AND TRAYS FOR AUDIO PANEL AND TRANSPONDER
THIS WHOLE AIRPLANE IS FOR SALE HERE, NOT JUST SOME PIECES
REPAIRABLE BELLY DAMAGE IS IT"S ONLY REAL AIRFRAME ISSUE.
DISASSEMBLED, READY TO TRANSPORT
WE WILL EVEN PAY THE STORAGE COSTS FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTION, AND YOU CAN MAKE AN ARRANGEMENT FOR MORE TIME IF YOU NEED IT
LOCATED IN BEAUTIFUL BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA, RIGHT NEAR NEW ORLEANS, SO OF COURSE YOU WILL TAKE A COUPLE OF DAYS AND ONE NIGHT (OR A COUPLE OF NIGHTS AND ONE DAY) IN THE BIG EASY WHILE YOU ARE DOWN THERE !!
PRICED SO CHEAP, YOU MIGHT BE TEMPTED TO USE THIS AIRPLANE AS A DISPLAY, OR "CRASH" IT INTO THE SIDE OF YOUR BUILDING AS A SIGN.
IF YOU DONT NEED THAT GOOD ENGINE, THE AIRBOATERS LOVE THEM !!!!
I ASSUME YOU WILL FIX THIS UP AND FLY IT, AS THE 250 COMANCHE IS A GREAT 4 PLACE CROSS-COUNTRY 175 MPH CRUISER
SOLD WITH AIRFRAME AND ENGINE LOGBOOKS SINCE BRAND NEW IN 1959
ALSO FAA BILL OF SALE
FAA AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE FROM 1959 (ORIGINAL, NOT A COPY)
YOU ARE BUYING A WHOLE, REAL AIRPLANE, WITH ALL ORIGINAL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS !!
CHEAP !!
GOOD BIDDING
AS WENTWORTH AIRCRAFT IS LOCATED IN CRYSTAL,MINNESOTA, NOT…….....baton rouge, la........ ..…….. WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PERSONALLY ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR OR MOVING OF THIS AIRPLANE SORRY.
WENTWORTH AIRCRAFT DOES NOT OBTAIN REPAIR ESTIMATES, AS WE DO NOT REPAIR ANY OF OUR AIRPLANES. WE ONLY FACILITATE THE SALE OF REBUILDABLE AIRCRAFT TO THOSE DESIRING TO SAVE MONEY OR HAVE MORE AIRPLANE THAN OTHERWISE POSSIBLE FOR THE MONEY.
REPAIR OF ANY AIRCRAFT WILL DEPEND ON MANY FACTORS, SUCH AS AVAILABILITY OF USED PARTS, LABOR RATE OF THE REPAIR FACILITY, FAMILIARITY WITH THE AIRCRAFT, ETC. AND WE WOULD NEVER PRESUME TO ESTIMATE THIS NUMBER FOR A BUYER. BEWARE OF THOSE WHO OBVIOUSLY GIVE UNREALISTICALLY LOW "ESTIMATES" FOR THE REPAIR OF THE DAMAGED AIRCRAFT THEY SELL.
THIS ITEM IS BEING SOLD WITH A LOW RESERVE, THEREFORE WE FULLY EXPECT THIS LISTING WILL SELL TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER AT THE CLOSE OF THIS AUCTION, SO BID EARLY AND BID HIGH. THERE WILL BE NO CHANCE TO BUY THIS ITEM LATER!!
AS WE SET OUR BUY-IT-NOW SO LOW, MANY OF OUR AIRPLANES SELL BY THIS METHOD BEFORE THE END OF THE AUCTION. DONT WAIT TOO LONG HOPING TO SNIPE IT AT THE END, AND BE DISAPPOINTED !
