BUBBLE TOP SLIDING CANOPY, FLY OPEN OR SHUT! WINDSHIELD AND CANOPY ARE NEW THIS YEAR. NO CRACKS OR CLOUDING.PLANE CLOCKS 161 MPH WIDE OPEN, FLYING 100" OVER THE OCEAN SURFACE.
HANDLES LIKE A TRAINER, BUT FLYS LIKE A FIGHTER! CLIMBS STEADILY AT 1500 PER MINUTE (PILOT ONLY). GREAT AIRCRAFT FOR NEWPILOTS AND 1000 HOUR PILOTS ALIKE. GRUMMAN AA-1-A MANUFACTURED IN 1972. I AM A GRADUATE AIRFRAME AND POWERPLANT MECHANIC, AND HAVE OWNED, FLOWN, AND METICULOUSLY MAINTAINED THIS PLANE FOR THE LAST 21 YEARS.EACH ANNUAL HAS BEEN SIGNED OFF BY A CERTIFIED FAA INSPECTOR.
SHE"S JET BLACK WITH GOLD N NUMBERS; N6391L. FUEL BURN AT CRUISE IS ONLY 8.8 GALLONS PER HOUR, WHICH WORKS OUT TO APPROXIMATELY14.5 MILES PER GALLON. ORIGINAL 108 HP ENGINE IS REPLACED BY A LYCOMBING O-320 WHICH DEVELOPS 165 HP; BUILT UP BY THE FAMOUS AIR MODS OF WASHINGTON.THE ENGINE HAS ONLY 533.6 HOURS, WITH LIKE-NEW COMPRESSION OF 76/80, 78/80, 78/80, 78/80, AS RECORDED IN THE ENGINE LOG BOOK DURING THE CURRENT ANNUAL INSPECTION, SIGNED OFF JUST A FEW DAYS AGO. THE ENGINE IS VERY RELIABLE, STARTS EASILY, AND RUNS SMOOTHLY.
THE ONLY CONS I CAN THINK OF ARE: THE NOSE TIRE COULD BE REPLACED (VERY SLOW AIR LEAK). THE SEATS COULD BE RECOVERED (NO TEARS, BUT WRINKLESFROM THE CALIFORNIA HEAT). THE INSTRUMENT WIND-UP CLOCK RUNS SLOW (NEEDS CLEANING), AND THE HOBBS METER COULD BE UPDATED, BUT ACCURATE HOURS FLOWN ARE RECORDED ALSO BY THE TACHOMETER.
NO DAMAGE HISTORY. CALIFORNIA AIRPLANE, LOCATED AT VAN NUYS AIRPORT. NO RUST OR CORROSION. READY TO TURN THE KEY AND FLY HOME.
THE BEST PART IS THE BUY-IT-NOW PRICE OF ONLY $22500.
