1998 MURPHY REBEL, NEAT 2 SEAT EXPERIMENTAL, 275 TT, LIGHT AIRFRAME DAMAGE, CHEAP !
THE MURPHY REBEL IS A WELL KNOWN, HIGHLY REGARDED STOL CAPABLE LIGHT 2 SEAT EXPERIMENTAL
DESIGNED AND PRODUCED IN CANADA, THE AIRCRAFT IS ABLE TO OPERATE OUT OF SHORT OR LESS IMPROVED STRIPS, AND IS A GREAT AIRPLANE TO OPERATE OUT OF A GRASS FIELD.
ASSEMBLY IS STRAIGHTFORWARD, AND THE NUMBER OF KITS COMPLETED ONCE STARTED IS HIGH
AND THEY ARE VERY CUTE AIRPLANES !!
WIDE DOORS THAT ARE HINGED AT THE FRONT EDGE GIVE EASY ACCESS TO THE SEATS, AS WELL AS TO THE GENEROUS STORAGE ARE BEHIND THE SEATS
THE WINDOWS ON THESE DOORS ALSO FOLD DOWN SEPARATELY FOR WIND IN YOUR HAIR FLYING!
THIS AIRPLANE IS GOOD LOOKING, WITH A STRIP AND PAINT IN 2013
UPGRADED TO A MATCO TAILWHEEL AT THE SAME TIME
LAST FLOWN AND ANNUALED IN 2017 ! NOT A SITTER
TOTAL TIME SINCE NEW 275 HOURS
NICE BLUE CLOTH INTERIOR
SHOULDER HARNESS SEATBELTS
FULL COMPLEMENT OF FLIGHT AND ENGINE INSTRUMENTATION, PLUS:
4 PLACE EGT WITH PROBES
CHT
FC-10 DIGITAL FUEL COMPUTER
ELECTRIC PITCH TRIM
THIS AIRPLANE SUFFERED DAMAGE AS A RESULT OF A HARD LANDING ON THE MAINS
AS YOU CAN SEE IN THE PHOTOS, THE RIGHT GEAR LEG PULLED ONE OF THE CAPTURE BOLTS OUT, BUT THE GEAR LEGS, AND EVEN THE CAPTURE BRACKET LOOKS OK
THE FUSELAGE SKIN AND STRUCTURE IS WRINKLED AROUND THE GEAR ATTACH AREAS, FROM SIDE TO SIDE (UNDERNEATH THE DOORS), BUT BEHIND THE BOOT COWL , AND ALL FORWARD OF THE UNDAMAGED TAILCONE.
JUST THE CENTER SECTION
THE RIGHT WING HAS A DENT IN THE LEADING EDGE INBOARD, AND A SMALLER SCUFF FARTHER OUTBOARD
THE LEFT WING HAS SOME OLD DAMAGE AT THE VERY TIP THAT HAS BEEN STRAIGHTENED AND PAINTED OVER, BUT NO APPARENT NEW DAMAGE. A FEW OF THE VORTEX GENERATORS HAVE BEEN KNOCKED OFF, BUT THEY ARE SIMPLY GLUE ON, NOT RIVITED, SO NO DAMAGE WAS DONE THE THE SKIN
THERE IS NO FIREWALL DAMAGE, OR ENGINE MOUNT DAMAGE
YOU WILL SEE THAT WE HAVE UNBOLTED THE LYCOMING 0-235 ENGINE FROM THE MOUNT, AND THE ENGINE AND ACCESSORIES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS LISTING.
THE REBEL IS BUILT TO HANDLE ROTAX 100 H.P., LYCOMING 115 H.P. (WHICH IS WHAT HAD BEEN ON HERE, AND THE MOUNT THAT IS UNDAMAGED AND INCLUDED), AND THE LYCOMING 150 AND 160 H.P., WHICH ALSO FIT THIS SAME MOUNT.
THE CABLES, WIRING AND PROBES ARE STILL INSTALLED AND INCLUDED
THE PAPERWORK ON THIS AIRPLANE IS THE MOST COMPLETE I HAVE EVER HAD WITH A HOMEBUILT, AND INCLUDES:
FAA AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE
FAA BILL OF SALE
INFO PACKAGE
SERVICE AND SAFETY BULLETINS
2 BIG 3 RING BINDERS THAT APPEAR TO BE MAINTENANCE MANUALS AND ASSEMBLY MANUALS
AND THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION !!
IT WOULD SEEM TO ME THAT THE REPAIRS TO THIS AIRPLANE COULD BE COMPLETED IN A SMALL FRACTION OF THE TIME AS THE POOR GUY WHO HAD TO BUILD THIS WHOLE AIRPLANE FROM SCRATCH.
I BET SOMEONE WHO DIDN"T HAVE THE TIME OR INCLINATION TO DO THE WHOLE BUILD COULD MUSTER ENOUGH TO PUT THIS PREVIOUSLY SORTED OUT AND FLYING AIRPLANE BACK INTO THE SKY.
AND IT"S SO CUTE !!
LOCATED AT OUR MAIN OFFICE AT THE CRYSTAL AIRPORT (KMIC), JUST NORTH OF MINNEAPOLIS, MN.
WE WILL STORE THE AIRPLANE FOR 30 DAYS AT NO CHARGE, AND MORE TIME IS AVAILABLE IF YOU NEED IT.
EASY TO TRANSPORT, IT WILL JUST ROLL UP ON A TRAILER.
HAVE FUN WITH THIS ONE !!

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!!
