This beautiful aircraft is in overall good shape. I have just recently purchased this plane and was in the process of getting checked out in it. This airplane is an amazing performer (300hp). I am selling due to life changes. The annual was due at the end of April 2015. This plane has only 524.1 hours since a factory new engine (Continental IO 520K) and 524.1 hours since a factory new 3 blade Hartzell prop. These were installed in year 2000. Has only 11.1 hours since last annual on April 2014. This aircraft has had excellent maintenance history by very reputable shops. The paint is slightly faded and has some chips in the leading edge of the wings. Overall it could use some touch up. The cowl paint is cracked out and needs refinishing. The side windows are lightly crazed but are polish-able. With a little TLC this could be a nice exterior finish. The interior was new in 2000 but could use some cleaning. A new right hand exhaust was installed last annual and both magnetos had a 500 hour inspection and yellow tagged. The engine is smooth and produces lots of power. I have not put much time on this plane since purchasing it. The radios are a KX125, KLX135, ADF, Garmin GTX320A transponder. The plane is located at a private airstrip east of Fairbanks Alaska. There are lots of maintenance shops located in Fairbanks to do an annual or you can ferry permit it to your preferred location. I can help you with a ferry permit. Please have your finances in order if you intend to bid. Ask whatever questions you have and I will answer them. You can leave me your number in the message and I will call you. Please remember time zones. I am reserving the right to end this auction early do to local buyers. This engine does NOT have Superior Cylinders so it is not affected by the current Airworthiness Directive. All AD"s up to date. Wing is in great shape. Fabric is good. A $2000 deposit is due at the end of this auction thru pay pal. A cashiers check that can be certified by my bank or cash or gold will have to be in hand before the plane leaves. Arrange pickup or delivery to your satisfaction. I will try to assist in whatever I can. Best regards. |
