Item specifics
Condition: Used
This is my grandfathers 4th handcrafted from prop to tail aircraft. I have grown up watching him build these planes. He has all the tools and machines to complete piece by piece. Some of the machines are 80+ years old. He himself is know reached the prime age of 85 and is having trouble with breathing. So enjoying the air is no longer a possibility for him. He has started collecting cars. He has held on to this plane has long as he can stand it and it aggravates him to just look at it and not be able to fly it. So he has asked me to sell it.Plans are from "Boredom Fighter"It has a 65HP Continental with 119hrs with a handmade Mahogany/Birch propThe plane it self has 40+ hrs Pilot weight 200 +/-lbsHand start (no starter)Va Maneuvering Speed 80 Vne Never Exceed Speed 135 Vno Maximum Structural Cruising Speed 120 Vs Stalling Speed 45 Vso Minimum Steady Flight Speed at Which the Airplane is Controllable in the Landing Configuration 50 Vx Best Angle Climb Speed 70 Vy Best Rate of Climb Speed 60 Gross Weight 910 Empty Weight 571Grove disk brakesBuyer assumes all responsibility for breaking down and shipping.
