1974 PIPER CHEROKEE 140, 5493 TT, EASY REPAIR, NICE AIRPLANE, GREAT PROJECT.THIS IS A NICE LOOKING.
Item specifics
| Condition: | Used |
THIS IS A NICE LOOKING, CLEAN LATE MODEL CHEROKEE 140 !!
4 SEATS, PLUS THE EXTENDED BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT, MAKE THIS A USEABLE FAMILY AIRPLANE
LATE STYLE DASH LAYOUT LIKE A WARRIOR, WITH CLEAN SIX PACK INSTRUMENT LAYOUT AND THE VERY DESIRABLE QUADRANT MOUNTED THROTTLE AND MIXTURE CONTROLS
THE DASH IN THIS AIRPLANE IS VERY CLEAN
VERY ATTRACTIVE PAINT SCHEME AND COLORS
INTERIOR IS OFF-WHITE, IN GOOD CONDITION, WITH 4 BUCKET SEATS, AND SHOULDER HARNESSES FOR THE FRONT SEATS
THE PILOT ALSO HAS THE VERTICALLY ADJUST FEATURE, WHICH ALLOWS TALLER OR SHORTER PILOTS TO FIND A COMFORTABLE HEIGHT.
DUAL TOE-BRAKES ALLOW EITHER SEAT TO BE PILOT IN COMMAND, GREAT FOR INSTRUCTING OR LETTING YOUR KIDS HELP OUT (THATS HOW I STARTED, AT THE AGE OF 10) !
THIS AIRPLANE DEVELOPED AN ENGINE PROBLEM IN THE PATTERN, AND THE PILOT WAS FORCED TO SET IT DOWN JUST OFF THE RUNWAY, BUT ON AIRPORT PROPERTY
THE LEFT LANDING GEAR HIT AN OBSTRUCTION AND THE FLEXED BACKWARD ENOUGH TO PUT A KINK IN THE LEFT WING INBOARD
IN ADDITION, THE LEFT GEAR UPPER TUBE IS DAMAGED, WHICH ALLOWED THE SCISSORS ON THAT GEAR TO COME LOOSE. THE LOWER CHROME TUBE, WHEEL, BRAKE AND SCISSORS THEMSELVES LOOK TO BE OK.
THE METAL UPPER FAIRING IS TORN, AND THE FIBERGLASS WHEEL PANT IS CRACKED, BUT NOT DESTROYED. VERY REPAIRABLE
THE NOSE WHEEL WENT INTO A CHUCK-HOLE, WHICH BROKE THE WHEEL APNT AND BENT THE FORK SLIGHTLY SIDE-WAYS.
THE ENGINE MOUNT AND UPPER GEAR TUBE APPEARS PERFECT
THE FIREWALL IS NOT DAMAGED IN ANY WAY !!
THE LEFT WING WRINKLE SEEMS CONTAINED TO ONLY THE WING INBOARD STRUCTURE. THE TIP, OUTBOARD WING AND AILERON ARE UNDAMAGED.
A REPLACEMENT WING IS AVAILABLE ON THE OPEN MARKET, FROM US OR OTHERS, FOR $2,000 OR LESS, SO BOLTING ON A REPLACEMENT WOULD BE FAST AND EASY, AND MAYBE CHEAPER THAN A REPAIR
THE FLAP WAS DAMAGED BY THE OBSTRUCTION WHICH HIT THE GEAR, AND WILL REQUIRE REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT
THE FUSELAGE IS NOT DAMAGED !!
NO DEFORMATION BY THE WING ATTACH POINTS, OR ANYWHERE ELSE FOR THAT MATTER.
THE DOOR FITS AND SHUTS WELL, AND ALL THE GLASS IS GOOD.
YOU WILL NOTICE IF YOU LOOK CLOSE THAT THE 3RD SIDE WINDOW IS ACTUALLY PAINTED ON. A NEAT DECEPTION
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE ENGINE WAS REMOVED FROM THE MOUNT WITH ALL OF IT"S ACCESSORIES AND THE PROP, AND IS NOT INCLUDED IN THIS LISTING.
THERE ARE 3 ENGINE SIZES APPROVED FOR THIS AIRFRAME, WHICH ALL USE THE EXISTING AND INCLUDED ENGINE MOUNT AND COWLING. THEY ARE:
0-320 150 H.P., THE STANDARD ENGINE
0-320 160 H.P., THE MOST POPULAR UPGRADE, NO CHANGES REQUIRED, JUST MORE SPEED AND BETTER CLIMB
0-360 180 H.P. NO MAJOR CHANGES, GIVES THE PERFORMANCE OF THE CHEROKEE 180 !!
THE ENGINE CONTROL CABLES, RUBBER LORD ENGINE MOUNTS, TACH CABLE AND ELECTRICAL WIRING TO THE ENGINE WERE UNBOLTED, NOT CUT, AND ARE INTACT AND INCLUDED
THE FLIGHT AND ENGINE INSTRUMENTATION IS 100%INCLUDED, BUT THE RADIO PANEL UNITS (DUAL KING NAV-COMS, KING AUDIO PANEL AND KING TRANSPONDER ) ARE NOT INCLUDED.
THE MOUNTING TRAYS ARE INCLUDED AND STILL COMPLETELY WIRED UP, SO IF YOU WANT TO ADD THIS TYPE OF EQUIPMENT BACK IN THE FUTURE, IT WILL TAKE 10 MINUTES AND NO REWIRING, OR UPDATE ANY OR ALL OF IT TO MAKE YOUR DREAM STACK.
ALL ANTENNAS ARE STILL INSTALLED, AS IS THE MODE "C" ENCODER.
THIS AIRPLANE IS LOCATED AT THE LAUREL, MISSISSIPPI AIRPORT, TIED DOWN OUTSIDE.
WE WILL PAY THE TIE-DOWN FEE FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTION.
SOLD WITH LOGBOOKS SINCE BRAND NEW IN APRIL 1974, FAA BILL OF SALE, FAA AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE, KEYS AND OTHER PAPERWORK !!
THIS IS AN EASY, ALL BOLT-ON PROJECT, NOT ONE RIVIT REQUIRED, AND YOU WOULD BE BRINGING BACK A NICE AIRPLANE !!
DO MOST OF THE WORK YOURSELF, WITH A MECHANIC ONLY TO SIGN IT OFF !!
