1981 BEECH B 55 BARON, SUPER LOW 1800 TTSNEW, KFC 200, CHEAP !!OK, SO WE START WITH A VERY LATE.
Item specifics
| Condition: | Used |
OK, SO WE START WITH A VERY LATE MODEL B-55. ALL OF THE FACTORY IMPROVEMENTS, (ONLY ------B-55"S PRODUCED AFTER THIS ONE)
MAYBE THE LOWEST TOTAL TIME B-55 OUT THERE !!
ONLY 1837 HOURS TOTAL AIRFRAME TIME SINCE NEW !!
LOGBOOKS ARE COMPLETE FROM AIRWORTHINESS DATE SEPT. 10TH, 1981 (SHOULD REALLY BE A 1982)
.
THE INTERIOR HAS 4 GORGEOUS TAN LEATHER SEATS AND SIDE PANELS (PROVISION FOR 6 SEATS, BUT MOST PEOPLE ONLY USE 4 AND HAVE A LARGE BAGGAGE AREA)
THIS AIRPLANE DOES OF COURSE HAVE THE HUGE REAR BAGGAGE DOOR, AS WELL AS NOSE BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT
INSIDE THE AIRPLANE IS EQUIPPED WITH THE BEST AUTOPILOT, THE KING KFC 200 !!
THIS SYSTEM PROVIDES ROCK SOLID CONTROL OF ROLL AND PITCH, WITH VOR, LOCALIZER, AND GLIDESLOPE COUPLINGS
COUPLED TO THE KING KCS-55A ELECTRIC HSI SYSTEM AND THE KING FLIGHT DIRECTOR, THIS IS HANDS DOWN THE PREFERRED AUTOPILOT FOR SERIOUS CROSS-COUNTRY IFR FLYING, BUT IT IS PROHIBITIVELY EXPENSIVE TO INSTALL IT AFTER THE AIRPLANE IS BUILT, SO AN AIRPLANE EITHER HAS THE BEST, OR DOESNT.
THIS ONE DOES !!
SUPRISINGLY, WITH ALL OF THE UPDATES THIS AIRPLANE HAS HAD, THE REST OF THE AVIONICS ARE WHAT WAS INSTALLED NEW IN LATE 1981
DUAL COLLINS 251/351 DIGITAL 720 CHANNEL NAV-COMS
COLLINS AUDIO PANEL WITH MARKER BEACONS
COLLINS DIGITAL DME
COLLINS DIGITAL RNAV
AND A KING TRANSPONDER.
SEEMS LIKE A GARMIN UPDATE OF SOME OR ALL OF THE RADIOS WOULD BRING THIS LOW TIME GEM INTO THE 21ST CENTURY !!
THEY WILL COUPLE PERFECTLY TO THE HSI AND FLIGHT DIRECTOR AUTOPILOT.
THIS AIRPLANE SUFFERED DAMAGE WHEN THE GEAR RETRACTED DURING THE LANDING/TAXI SEQUENCE.
I CAN"T TELL YOU THAT THIS WAS AN INADVERTENT SELECTION OF GEAR UP RATHER THAN FLAPS UP, BUT IT LOOKS LIKE ONE.
BOTH INBOARD RIBS ON THE WINGS ARE DAMAGED WHERE THE INBOARD GEAR DOOR HINGES BROKE, BUT REPLACEMENT IS EASY OFF OF THE PLANE LIKE THEY ARE.
THE WING STRUCTURE AND SPARS ARE NOT DAMAGED
LOCATED AT OUR MAIN FACILITY AT THE CRYSTAL AIRPORT (KMIC), JUST NORTH OF MINNEAPOLIS, MN.
WE WILL PROVIDE INSIDE STORAGE AT NO CHARGE FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTION, AND MORE TIME IS AVAILABLE AT EXTRA COST IF YOU REQUIRE IT.
. 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.
