Not a show plane! Paint chips, some hanger rash and dated interior. It is an honest tail dragger that requires your attention, but handles as it was designed.There isn"t any part on this plane I haven"t touched and inspected. I"ve owned and flown several similar types. Call me with questions 443-995-0538 .
Health issue keeps me from flying for awhile and we"re adding a wedding to to the budget.
Hangered in Easton ,MD.. KESN I live in Annapolis and love airplanes. If you are seriously interested in purchase, Call me 443-995-0538 . Curious?? Call me after the auction ends please.This is an economical and fun airplane you could load up and fly anywhere.
I have held off doing the condition inspection thinking a buyer would want to participate and maybe take an oil sample before it is changed. The plane is maintained regularly and will just need the routine checks. Its in good shape and very flyable once the log entries are made. Discuss it with your wife, come do the inspection with your mechanic, just the two of us or I can have my A&P/IA do it.
