2011 BEARHAWK, 600 TTSNEW, LOVINGLY ASSEMBLED AND FLOWN, LANDING MISHAP AND FLIP OVER, REPAIR IS.
Item specifics
| Condition: | Used |
THIS 2011 BEARHAWK WAS LOVINGLY ASSEMBLED BY AN ARMY ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON WHO ALSO HAPPENS TO BE A PILOT AND LICENSED A&P MECHANIC.
BUILT SPECIFICALLY TO BE HIS PERSONAL TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUTER VEHICLE, AS HE LIVED ON A REMOTE RANCH WITH HIS OWN LIGHTED STRIP, AND HE USED THE AIRPLANE TO GO TO WORK AND TOWN.
UNFORTUNATELY, HE EXPERIENCED A GROUND LOOP DURING A NIGHT LANDING ON HIS PRIVATE STRIP, WHICH DAMAGED THE RIGHT SIDE LANDING GEAR. BEFORE HE COULD SECURE THE AIRPLANE, A GUST OF WIND FLIPPED IT OVER, WITH THE LEFT WING ON A CATTLE FENCE.
AS A RESULT OF THESE SEPARATE INSTANCES, THE AIRCRAFT HAS DAMAGE TO MANY COMPONENTS, BUT IT WOULD STILL BE REBUILDABLE, IF ONLY THE DOCTOR WAS ABLE.
AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE, AFTER 2,700 HOURS OF BUILDING HIS DREAM AIRPLANE, HE DIDN"T HAVE THE HEART TO REBUILD IT, SO NOW SOMEONE ELSE GETS A CHANCE.
WE ARE SELLING THE AIRCRAFT MINUS THE AVIONICS, AS THE STATE OF THE ART IS QUITE DIFFERENT NOW THAN WHEN THE DOCTOR PLANNED THIS PANEL, AND WE HAVE FOUND THAT HOMEBUILT AVIONICS ARE TRUE PERSONALIZATION ITEMS.
WE ARE SELLING THE AIRFRAME WITHOUT THE CUSTOM O-540 ENGINE, AS IT SUFFERED A PROP STRIKE DURING THIS INCIDENT.
0-540 AND IO-540 ENGINES ARE BOTH APPROVED FOR THIS AIRFRAME, AND THEY ARE READILY AVAILABLE, FROM US OR OTHERS, NOW OR IN THE FUTURE WHEN YOU HAVE MADE THE REQUIRED REPAIRS TO THIS AIRFRAME.
AS YOU CAN SEE, BOTH OF THE WINGS, THE RIGHT MAIN GEAR, AND THE COWLINGS SUSTAINED MAJOR DAMAGE
THE FIREWALL AND ENGINE MOUNT ARE ALSO WRINKLED
THE MAIN CABIN APPEARS TO BE STRAIGHT, AND EVEN THE COM ANTENNA ON THE CABIN TOP ISN"T BROKEN.
THE SCOTT TAILWHEEL IS OK, AS IS THE LEFT GEAR ASSEMBLY. THE RIGHT WHEEL AND BRAKE ARE INCLUDED.
INTERIOR IS IN GREAT CONDITION, OF COURSE.
CURRENTLY LOCATED NEAR WICHITA FALLS TEXAS, BUT WE WILL BE MOVING IT 6/01/2015 TO OUR HANGER AT THE WAXAHATCHIE AIRPORT, JUST SOUTH OF DALLAS, TEXAS.
THE BUYER CAN DECIDE IF THEY WOULD RATHER NOT HAVE THE AIRCRAFT MOVED.
STORAGE IS FREE FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTION, AND MORE TIME IS AVAILABLE AT THE WAXAHATCHIE LOCATION, AT ADDITIONAL CHARGE, IF YOU REQUIRE IT.
SOLD WITH AIRFRAME LOGBOOK SINCE HOUR 1, AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE AND FAA BILL OF SALE.
IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT BUILDING A BEARHAWK, STARTING THIS PROJECT FROM THE ALREADY COMPLETED AND FLYING AIRPLANE WILL SAVE YOU UNTOLD HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF CONSTRUCTION TIME, MOST OF IT THE SILLY DETAIL WORK THAT IS SO TEDIOUS.
GREAT PROJECT FOR THE RIGHT PERSON.
GOOD BIDDING !!
AS WENTWORTH AIRCRAFT IS LOCATED IN CRYSTAL,MINNESOTA, NOT…WALTERS OK…..…….. WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PERSONALLY ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR OR MOVING OF THIS AIRPLANE SORRY.
WENTWORTH AIRCRAFT DOES NOT OBTAIN REPAIR ESTIMATES, AS WE DO NOT REPAIR ANY OF OUR AIRPLANES. WE ONLY FACILITATE THE SALE OF REBUILDABLE AIRCRAFT TO THOSE DESIRING TO SAVE MONEY OR HAVE MORE AIRPLANE THAN OTHERWISE POSSIBLE FOR THE MONEY.
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!!
AS WE SET OUR BUY-IT-NOW SO LOW, MANY OF OUR AIRPLANES SELL BY THIS METHOD BEFORE THE END OF THE AUCTION. DONT WAIT TOO LONG HOPING TO SNIPE IT AT THE END, AND BE DISAPPOINTED !
