THE SOCATA TB-9 TAMPICO IS THE 160 H.P. FIXED GEAR VERSION OF SOCATA"S 4 PLACE TRAVELING AIRPLANE !!
FITTED WITH A 160 H.P. LYCOMING ENGINE LIKE THE PIPER WARRIOR AND LATER CESSNA 172"S, THE MAJOR DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE AIRPLANES AND THE TB-9 ARE THE EUROPEAN DESIGN INFLUENCE, AND THE FACT THAT THE TB SERIES WAS A NEW DESIGN FROM THE 1980"S, NOT AN ADAPTATION OF AN EARLY 1960"S (OR EVEN 1950"S IN THE CAE OF THE 172) DESIGN.
AS A RESULT, YOU WILL NOTICE THE SLEEK AND SWOOPY DESIGN ELEMENTS, BOTH INSIDE AND OUT !!
THE CABIN IS KNOWN FOR BEING WIDE AND VERY COMFORTABLE, AND THE DISTINCTIVE GULL WING DOORS IMPROVE ENTRY AND EXIT, AND ADD TO THE FANTASTIC ALL AROUND VISIBILITY.
BESIDES THE EYE CATCHING AND DISTINCTIVE BLUE METALLIC PAINT WITH BLACK STRIPING, PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS INTERIO IS BEAUTIFUL !!
TWO TONE SEATS ARE MODERN, SUPPORTIVE, AND SHARP !!
THE WHOLE CABIN IS AWESOME !!
THE DASH IS WELL LAID OUT, WITH MODERN SWITCHGEAR AND INSTRUMENTATION
AVIONICS INCLUDE A FULL KING DIGITAL STACK !!
KX-155 NAV-COM WITH GLIDESLOPE INDICATOR
KMA-24 AUDIO PANEL WITH MARKER BEACONS
KT-76A TRANSPONDER WITH MODE "C" ENCODER
KR-86 ADF SYSTEM
4 PLACE INTERCOM SYSTEM
TOTAL AIRFRAME TIME IS 6036
ENGINE TIME SINCE MAJOR IS 1840
LAST ANNUAL PERFORMED 8/2015, SO IT DOESNT EXPIRE UNTIL 8/30/2016 !!
THIS AIRPLANE SUFFERED DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WING DURING A HARD BOUNCE ON LANDING. THE PILOT OWNER THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT, AND CONTINUED TO FLY THE AIRPLANE, WITH NO ISSUES, INCLUDING 3 MORE LANDINGS.
ONLY AFTER HE PUT IT AWAY IN IT"S HANGER DID HE NOTICE THE WRINKLE IN THE LEFT WING !!
THE SKIN IS WRINKLED ON THE TOP, IN THE AREA OF THE WING WALK, AND THERE IS A PRONOUNCED WRINKLE HERE. NO WRINKLING OR OTHER DAMAGE SHOWS UP ON THE BOTTOM OF THE WING AT ALL
THE AIRPLANE SITS LEVEL AND STRAIGHT, AND THERE IS NO LEAKING OR SUSPECTED OTHER DAMAGE TO THE GEAR.
AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS, THERE IS A SLIGHT DEFORMATION TO THE LEFT SIDE SKIN ON THE FUSELAGE, IN THE AREA OF THE WING WRINKLE. I TOOK OF THE INSIDE INTERIOR PANEL, AND CAN SEE NO STRUCTURE BENT OR DEFORMED, SO IT APPEARS THIS DEFORMATION MIGHT BE CAUSED SIMPLY BY A PINCH FROM THE WRINKLED TOP WING SKIN, AND I AM QUITE SURE THAT IT CAN BE VERY SIMPLY MESSAGED OUT AFTER THE WING SKIN IS REPAIRED.
I KNOW THAT WING REPAIRS, EVEN SEEMINGLY EASY ONES LIKE THIS AIRPLANE SEEMS TO REQUIRE PUT OFF SOME PEOPLE, SO IF YOU WOULD PREFER TO SIMPLY TRANSFER ALL OF THE SURFACES, TIP, STROBES, GEAR, ETC. TO A DIFFERENT WING AND BOLT IT ON, THERE ARE USED WINGS AVAILABLE VERY INEXPENSIVELY, FROM US OR OTHERS, SO YOU DON"T NEED TO WORRY ABOUT GETTING STUCK.
THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THIS NICE AIRPLANE !!
NO PROP STRIKE, ENGINE DAMAGE, NO FIREWALL OR ENGINE MOUNT DAMAGE.
ALL 3 LANDING GEAR ARE GOOD
NO DAMAGE TO THE WING OR TAIL CONTROL SURFACES
THE GLASS IS ALL GOOD
THE DOORS AND FIBERGLASS COWLS ARE GOOD
INTERIOR IS FABULOUS !!
AVIONICS WORK GOOD
JUST THE WRINKLE !!
THE PAPERWORK FOR THIS AIRPLANE IS EXTENSIVE AND IMPECCABLE !!
INCLUDED ARE AIRFRAME, ENGINE AND PROPELLOR LOGBOOKS, LOADS OF OTHER PAPERWORK, AS WELL AS FAA BILL OF SALE, FAA AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE, AND KEYS !!
STILL STORED IN A HANGER AT THE HOT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS AIRPORT, WE WILL PAY THE OWNER FOR 30 DAYS OF STORAGE FROM THE END OF THIS AUCTION.
HE WOULD BE THE FIRST TO TELL YOU THAT THIS AIRPLANE RUNS AND FLYS FINE, EVEN AS-IS.
GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR A HIGH STYLE, LATE MODEL DESIGN WHICH PRESENTS VERY NICELY !!
AND IT"S PRICED VERY INEXPENSIVELY, SO YOU CAN DO THE REPAIR AND STILL OWN IT CHEAP !!
GOOD BIDDING !!!
