2001 DIAMOND DA 20 CI ECLIPSE, 2675 TT, NOSE GEAR DAMAGE ONLY, PRICED CHEAP !!THE DA 20 IS A NEWER.
Item specifics
| Condition: | Used |
THE DA-20 IS A NEWER DESIGN, MADE FOR THE TRAINING AND 2 PLACE CRUISER MARKET.
FIBERGLASS AND COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION MAKE FOR A SMOOTH, STRONG, LIGHTWEIGHT AIRCRAFT, AND THE FLYING QUALITIES ARE RESPONSIVE, BUT NOT TWITCHY.
THE BUBBLE CANOPY GIVES GREAT VISIBILITY AND GREAT INGRESS AND EGRESS, WHILE THE MODERN BUCKET SEATS ALLOW FOR HOURS OF FLYING COMFORT
THE DASH IS EQUALLY MODERN, WITH NEW STYLE SWITCHGEAR, CIRCUIT PROTECTION AND FLIGHT AND ENGINE INSTRUMENTATION.
THIS AIRCRAFT SUFFERED DAMAGE WHEN THE STUDENT PILOT BOUNCED TOO HARD ON THE NOSEGEAR
THE NOSEGEAR ASSEMBLY PUSHED UP SLIGHTLY INTO THE LOWER FIREWALL, BUT THE GEAR TUBE IS STILL PROPERLY MOUNTED, AND THERE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE ANY DAMAGE AT THE ATTACH POINT.
THE LOWER FIBERGLASS HAS SOME CRACKS IN IT, BUT IT IS EASILY REPAIRABLE.
THE REST OF THE AIRCRAFT WAS UNDAMAGED BY THE SIMPLE INCIDENT, BUT SOME "helpful" PERSON RAN TO THE AIRPLANE RIGHT AFTER, AND BROKE THE CANOPY GLASS, I GUESS FEERING FOR THE OCCUPANTS SAFETY.
NOT TO WORRY, WE ARE INCLUDING A REPLACEMENT CANOPY, WITH UNDAMAGED GLASS, IN THIS AUCTION !
THIS AIRPLANE DID NOT FLIP OVER OR CARTWHEEL, NOR DRAG A WINGTIP OR HURT THE MAIN GEAR !!
AS A RESULT, THE DAMAGE TO THIS AIRCRAFT IS NOT SUBSTANTIAL, AND IS VERY ISOLATED !!
NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THE AIRFRAME !!
THE CABIN AND TAILCONE ARE ALL UNDAMAGED !! (Slight scrape on tail skid only)
THE WINGS, WINGTIPS (WITH NAV LIGHTS)CONTROL SURFACES AND MAIN LANDING GEAR ARE UNDAMAGED !! (1 small crack in top skin of left wing, superficial)
THE TAIL FEATHERS ARE UNDAMAGED !!
THE TOP COWL IS ALSO UNDAMAGED
THE CONTINENTAL 4 CYLINDER ENGINE SUFFERED A PROP STRIKE, AND IT HAS BEEN REMOVED WITH ITS ACCESSORIES, AND IS NOT INCLUDED. THE ENGINE MOUNT, ENGINE CONTROL CABLES, AND FIREWALL MOUNTED ITEMS ARE STILL INSTALLED AND INCLUDED.
THE RADIO PANEL UNITS AND TRAYS ARE NOT INCLUDED, ALONG WITH A FEW OF THE FLIGHT INSTRUMENTS, BUT THE ENGINE INSTRUMENTATION AND SWITCHGEAR/CIRCUIT PROTECTION IS INTACT.
THE WHOLE AIRFRAME LOOKS VERY NICE, AND WILL BE AN EASY REPAIR.
INSTALL A NEW OR USED ENGINE OF YOUR CHOICE, AND YOU CAN ENJOY THIS "FLYING SPORTS CAR" FOR VERY LITTLE INVESTMENT OF TIME OR MONEY !!
SOLD WITH FAA BILL OF SALE AND AIRFRAME LOGBOOK SINCE NEW. THE AIRPLANE HAS BEEN SITTING SINCE EARLY 2014(INSIDE), SO THE REGISTRATION HAS LAPSED, AND YOU WILL HAVE TO RE-REGISTER AFTER REPAIR
