1981 CESSNA 172P, HARD LANDING ON NOSE, COMPLETE AIRFRAME, LITTLE DAMAGE, GREAT PROJECT, CHEAP.
Item specifics
| Condition: | Used |
THIS IS A NICE 172P MODEL, THE LAST OF THE 172 SERIES BEFORE THE 180H.P CAME AROUND.
ALL OF THE IMPROVEMENTS THAT CESSNA ADDED WITH THIER 25 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH THE 172 WENT INTO THE "P" MODEL
WING AND FUEL TANK DESIGN, HORIZONTAL AND ELEVATOR DESIGN WERE UPDATED ON THE "P" MODEL
THIS IS A GOOD LOOKING AIRPLANE, IN AND OUT
GREAT PAINT, IN A MODERN SCHEME WITH 2 TONE BLUE STRIPES
BLUE INTERIOR WITH PILOT"S VERTICALLY ADJUSTABLE AND RECLINING SEAT
MODERN DASH LAYOUT, WITH MODERN INSTRUMENTS AND ENGINE GUAGES
THIS AIRCRAFT SUFFERED DAMAGE WHEN THE PILOT BOUNCED THE AIRPLANE ON THE NOSEWHEEL ON LANDING.
THE NOSEWHEEL EDGES WERE BROKEN, AND THE NOSE LANDING GEAR WAS SHOVED UPWARD, WHICH WRINKLED THE FIREWALL AND IT"S SUPPORTS
THE ENGINE MOUNT, WHICH IS NOT ATTACHED TO THE NOSEGEAR ON A 172, DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE DAMAGED
IN FACT, OTHER THAN THE FIREWALL AND THE NOSE WHEEL, THIS ENTIRE AIRFRAME APPEARS TO BE UNDAMAGED !!!!
NO OTHER FUSELAGE DAMAGE !!!!!!!
NO COWLING DAMAGE !!!!
NO MAIN GEAR DAMAGE
NO WING DAMAGE !!!!!
NO CONTROL SURFACE DAMAGE
NO TAILCONE OR TAIL FEATHER DAMAGE !!!
THE PROPELLOR HIT THE RUNWAY AND WAS DESTROYED, AND THE ENGINE SUFFERED A PROP STRIKE OF COURSE, SO THEY WERE PROFESSIONALLY UNBOLTED AT THE ENGINE MOUNT, AND ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS LISTING.
ALL OF THE FIREWALL MOUNTED ITEMS ARE STILL INSTALLED, AND THE CABLES AND WIRES WERE UNBOLTED, NOT CUT, SO RE-INSTALLATION OF YOUR CHOICE OF ENGINE WILL BE STRAIGHTFORWARD.
REPLACEMENT 160 H.P. ENGINES ARE READILY AVAILABLE IN THE USED MARKET, AND THIS OTHERWISE UNDAMAGED AIRFRAME WOULD BE A GREAT CANDIDATE FOR A 180 H.P. CONVERSION, IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR EVEN BETTER PERFORMANCE !!
SOLD WITH AIRFRAME LOGBOOKS (AFTT IS 9895), AND FAA BILL OF SALE.
LOCATED AT THE BLUFFTON, OHIO AIRPORT. WE WILL PAY THE STORAGE COSTS FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTION, AND MORE TIME IS AVAILABLE IF YOU REQUIRE IT.
THIS IS A VERY REPAIRABLE "P" MODEL 172 WITH NO WING DAMAGE, SO IT IS A VERY VIABLE PROJECT.
GOOD BIDDING
