1976 CESSNA 172M, LITE DAMAGE, 180 H.P. STC, GREAT PROJECT, CHEAP !! THIS 172 M WAS PREVIOUSLY CONVERTED TO THE "AIR PLAINES" 180 H.P. STC. THE ENGINE HAS BEEN REMOVED WITH ACCESSORIES FORWARD OF THE FIREWALL, BUT THE PAPERWORK IS STILL IN THE LOGS, AND THE 337 STILL VALID. RE-INSTALLATION OF ANOTHER 180 H.P. LYCOMING SHOULD NOT REQUIRE ANOTHER APPROVAL ! THIS AIRFRAME SUSTAINED A SMALL AMOUNT OF FIREWALL DAMAGE DURING A HARD NOSE LANDING. I SAY SMALL, BECAUSED I MISSED IT COMPLETELY THE FIRST TIME I LOOKED !! THE MIDDLE CENTER PART OF THE FIREWALL, ABOVE THE LOWER REINFORCEMENT HAS A WRINKLE. IT"S IS INTERESTING, BECAUSE THE NOSEGEAR APPEARS UNDAMAGED, THE LOWER BELLY SKINS ARE STRAIGHT, THE LOWER AND UPPER FIREWALL SKINS ARE STRAIGHT, AND THE FLOORBOARDS LOOK STRAIGHT. JUST THAT RECESSED "BOX" AREA IS WRINKLED THE REST OF THE AIRPLANE DID NOT SUSTAIN DAMAGE !! AT LEAST NOT IN THE HARD LANDING ! SINCE THEN HOWEVER, BOTH FLAPS AND 1 AILERON WERE DAMAGED. I WONT SAY WHO, BECAUSE IT IS A BIG MYSTERY AROUND HERE, BUT IT CAME IN TO US LIKE THAT, SO IT WOULD APPEAR THAT THE FAULT WAS WITH THE INITIAL RECOVERY PEOPLE AT THE AIRPORT, OR MY TRANSPORTATION TEAM AT THE TIME (NO LONGER IN MY EMPLOY) THERE IS NO APPARENT DAMAGE TO THE WINGS OR FUEL TANKS. THE HORIZONTAL AND ELEVATORS WERE NOT DAMAGED THE VERTICAL IS GOOD, AND THE RUDDER OK, BUT SLIGHTLY WOBBLY ON THE TRAILING EDGE (PROBABLY PRE-EXISTING) THE PAINT SCHEME IS PRETTY COOL LOOKING, BUT IT IS SHOWING IT"S AGE, AND PROBABLY WILL NEED A RESHOOT SOON. THE SAME CAN BE SAID OF THE INTERIOR, WHICH IS ONLY PASSABLE. EQUIPPED WITH THE CAMBER WINGTIPS AND FACTORY STROBES ON THE WINGS AND TAIL THE PILOT"S SEAT HAS THE DESIRABLE VERTICALLY ADJUST FEATURE, AND THE REAR SEAT IS THE SPLIT, RECLINING BACK MODEL. THE AIRPLANE ALSO HAS THE EXTENDED BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT AREA. AS YOU CAN SEE, MOST OF THE FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS HAVE BEEN REMOVED, THIS IS THE FIRST THING MY GUYS DO WHEN AN AIRPLANE COMES IN, AND IN THIS CASE I STOPPED THEM THERE, BECAUSE I SAW THIS AIRPLANE"S POTENTIAL LUCKILY, ALL OF THE ENGINE INSTRUMENTATION, SWITCHGEAR AND CIRCUIT BREAKERS ARE STILL INTACT. YOU REALLY WANTED AN AIRPLANE WITHOUT THOSE OLD VACUMN GYROS, DIDNT YOU ? THE NEW GARMIN INDIVIDUAL GLASS INSTRUMENTS, OR THE REALLY CHEAP NEW ASPEN VFR SYSTEM WOULD BE PERFECT HERE !! WE HAVE THE FAA BILL OF SALE AND AIRFRAME LOGBOOKS SINCE 2001, BUT THE EARLIER LOGBOOKS ARE NOT AVAILABLE, SORRY. WE DO HAVE AD COMPLIANCE SHEETS AND WEIGHT AND BALANCE DATA. THE TOTAL AIRFRAME TIME SHOWS 10,811. THE REGISTRATION WILL NEED TO BE RENEWED, AS IT HAS EXPIRED, BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN CANCELLED. LOCATED AT OUR MAIN LOCATION AT THE CRSTAL, MN. AIRPORT (KMIC), JUST NORTH OF MINNEAPOLIS. WE WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE STORAGE AT NO CHARGE FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTION, AND MORE TIME IS AVAILABLE IF YOU NEED IT. EVERYBODY WANTS A 180 H.P. 172, BUT WHO WANTS TO PAY $40,000 FOR THE DONOR AIRFRAME? HERE"S YOUR AIRPLANE !! GOOD BIDDING
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 !
