2003 DIAMOND DA 40 STAR AIRFRAME, COMPLETE WITH WINGS, GEAR,CANOPY,ETC.THE DA 40 IS THE 4 PLACE.
Item specifics
| Condition: | Used |
THE DA-40 IS THE 4 PLACE, SINGLE ENGINE COMPOSITE CONSTRUCTION AIRPLANE DESIGNED BY DIAMOND AIRCRAFT IN AUSTRIA, AND BUILT IN CANADA.
AS YOU CAN SEE FROM THE PHOTOS, THIS ISNT AN OLD DESIGN AIRPLANE, BUT RATHER PART OF THE NEW GENERATION OF COMPOSITE AIRPLANES WHOS SLEEK LINES, HIGH EFFICIENCY AND EMPHASIS ON PILOT AND PASSENGER COMFORT CONSTITUTE THE NEXT GENERATION OF GENERAL AVIATION AIRPLANES
THE PILOT AND CO-PILOT ENTER THE COCKPIT THROUGH A FORWARD SWINGING 1 PIECE CANOPY, TO MOLDED BUCKET SEATS, STICK CONTROLS, AND A WIDE EXPANSE OF DASH
THE TWO REAR BUCKETS, WHICH FOLD OVER EASILY FOR MORE STORAGE, IF DESIRED, ARE ACCESSED THROUGH THIER OWN REAR DOOR.
ALL OCCUPANTS HAVE EXPANSIVE VIEWS OUTSIDE, WHILE ENJOYING A WIDE, COMFORTABLE CABIN
THIS PARTICULAR AIRPLANE SUFFERED DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WING, AND THE FUSELAGE AT THE LEFT WING ATTACHMENT POINT DURING TAKE-OFF IN GUSTY CONDITIONS ON JAN 27TH 2015. THE LEFT GEAR WENT OFF OF THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY, AND THE LEFT WING HIT SEVERAL SIGNS ON THE SIDE OF THE RUNWAY.
THE IMPACT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WING ON THE LOWER FORWARD EDGE, THE LEADING EDGE, AND 2 AREAS ON THE TOP AT THE LEADING EDGE.
THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE OUTBOARD SECTION OF THE WING, OR THE BOLT-ON WINGTIP
THE FUSELAGE HAS DAMAGE TO THE LEFT WING EXTENSION/ATTACH POINT AREA ONLY. THERE IS A TORN AREA OF THE COMPOSITE SKIN ON THE TOP, IN THE WALKWAY AREA, AND A SMALL AREA UNDERNEATH, NEAR THE GEAR ATTACH WELL.
THE LEFT GEAR LEG APPEARS TO BE STRAIGHT, BUT THE LEFT WHEEL AND BRAKE WERE DAMAGED, AND ARE NOT INCLUDED HERE.
THE MAIN FUSELAGE LEFT SIDE AND BELLY APPEAR TO BE UNDAMAGED
IN FACT, THERE IS NO FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE ENTIRE AIRPLANE FROM THIS INCIDENT !!
THE RIGHT WING HAS A VERY SMALL PUNCTURE ON THE TOP SIDE FROM HANDLING, VERY REPAIRABLE, AND THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THIS WING, FLAP, AILERON OR WINGTIP !!
THE LEFT FLAP HAS PUNCTURE DAMAGE FROM DEBRIS, BUT NOT DIRECT IMPACT.
THE SIGN IMPACT CAUSED NO DAMAGE TO THE WHOLE FRONT OF THE AIRFRAME !!
THE ENGINE SUFFERED A PROP STRIKE, AND HAS BEEN UNBOLTED, AND IS NOT INCLUDED HERE, BUT THE ENGINE MOUNT IS INCLUDED AND UNDAMAGED, AND THE ENGINE CONTROL CABLES ARE INCLUDED.
THE FIREWALL, UPPER AND LOWER COWLINGS AND THE COMPLETE NOSEGEAR ARE UNDAMAGED !!
THERE IS NO FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE FUSELAGE OUTSIDE OF THE LEFT WING ATTACH AREA.
NO DAMAGE TO THE CANOPY, THE REAR DOOR, REAR WINDOW, OR ROLL CAGE.
NO DAMAGE TO THE REAR FUSELAGE OR TAILCONE
NO DAMAGE TO THE VERTICAL FIN OR RUDDER
NO DAMAGE TO THE HORIZONTAL STAB OR TRIM TABS
NO DAMAGE TO THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR LEG, ATTACH POINTS, WHEEL OR BRAKE SYSTEM
INSIDE, ALL 4 BUCKET SEATS ARE INCLUDED AND THE FRAMES ARE FINE, EVEN THOUGH THE FRONT UPHOLSTERY IS BAD (IT HAD BEEN COVERED WITH A SEAT COVER, NOT INCLUDED)
THE DASH IS INTACT, AND THE GLASS PANEL ENGINE INSTRUMENTATION DISPLAY IS INCLUDED
THE HOBBS TIME IS 4450 TOTAL TIME SINCE NEW
THE WINGS, HORIZONTAL AND GEAR HAVE BEEN REMOVED NOW FOR EASY TRANSPORT.
THIS AIRPLANE IS SOLD WITHOUT LOGBOOKS, BUT WITH THE FAA AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE, SO YOU CAN FIX IT UP, IF THAT"S YOUR DESIRE.
IT SHOULD ESPECIALLY APPEAL TO THOSE WHO FLY, OWN OR SELL DIAMOND AIRCRAFT, AND I COULD IMAGINE ONE OF THE MANY MAJOR FLIGHT SCHOOLS WHO FLY THE DA-40 (OR IT"S TWIN COUSIN WITH THE SAME AIRFRAME, THE DA-42) MIGHT USE THE COMPONENTS FOR REPAIR PARTS, THE FUSELAGE AS A DISPLAY OR SIMULATOR OR SOME COMBINATION OF USES !!
THE DAMAGED AREAS COULD EASILY BE REPAIRED TO COSMETIC PERFECTION, AND THEN YOU HAVE A WHOLE, PERFECT AIRFRAME, FOR PEANUTS !!
ANYONE LOOKING FOR A DISPLAY AIRPLANE SHOULD BE INTERESTED IN THIS MODERN DESIGN AIRPLANE AT A SUPER LOW PRICE. MOUNT IT ON A POLE, OR ANYWHERE YOU WOULD LIKE !!
