1980 Enstrom 280C Restoration Project for sale $36,500 OBO Airframe TTAF 3033.0 hrs. Aircraft Serial number 1192 Engine TTSN 1198.8 hrs. Lycoming Engine L21920-51A Model HIO-360-E1BD All timed items are timed out except the engine.A yellow tagged dual Shower of Sparks mag is installed and timed. All logs, manuals, and documentation come with the ship. Loads of parts including extras that can be sold. The old main rotor head and boxes of new rotor head parts to build a new head, are included. No blades for the tail or main rotors comes with the project but the majority of parts other than the blades are with it. This project is well underway. Cabin electrical and instruments have been power tested. An Insight Engine Monitor was installed and was power tested. The cabin is now totally operational both controls and electrically. Installation of an oil compass and a landing light front frame will finish the cabin except for installation of the new( supplied) Plexiglas. No radios come with the ship.An aircraft mechanic can overhaul the tail rotor gear box and other small timed items. If you don"t hold at least an A/P you better have a good friend with one. The best approach is to look for used timed items like the blades and a main gear box. The main rotor gear box was inspected by Enstrom (document included) and found in good shape but needs overhaul due to time. The ship has a new "base coat-clear coat" paint job just finished. I’ve had several questions asked about past accident history. This ship was built up from a used 280C tail cone in perfect shape, a used empty cabin, and a completely empty pylon with skids attached. All other parts were new and used "separate" parts. The used pylon was for the serial number and documents. I’ve held every separate part on this ship in my hands prior to installation. Any parts found needing repair were fixed and documented in the logs. When the last of the work is done this will be like a new ship. The new paint job is just fantastic. It is cranberry metallic trim which matches the leather seats on an ivory white body.
