“There are some scratches and paint chip places, but the overall view is very good. The Paint is really nice. On the but end of the two bottom wings, there is some wrinkleing of the fabric because of over stretching in installation of the fabric. You could if you wished, fix this issue or you might choose not to. The overall appearance of this SE5-A is nice.” |
Make: | Se5-A 3/4 scale by The Loehle Corporation | Model Year: | 2002 |
This SE5-A is a very nice looking single place bi-plane replica . The Original SE5-A was a WWI British Fighter with a mounted machine gun. Several pictures give Loehle facts and specifications on this aircraft. This particular Aircraft was built and partially covered at the factory. She is painted with the Loehle Aero Coatings paint system. This plane was built to be a factory demonstrator plane, but was sold to a Mr Macpherson instead. I purchased this craft from a Mr Creamean. We do not have a record of who may have owned it, if anyone, between these two gentlemen. This aircraft has a Rotax 503 engine with a reduction gearbox. When I bought the plane, I did not receive any log books for this SE5-A. Since I had no part in the construction of this aircraft , I accept no liability for this aircraft, or for the safety of anyone who flies it. It is with this understanding, that if you purchase this aircraft, then you assume and are responsible for all liabilities pertaining to this aircraft. Having said that, it is an attractive airplane, especially with the low price. According to the hour meter, it has less than 30 hours total time. I flew this aircraft several times, and after that, I allowed a friend to fly it. When I flew it, it was airborne in less than 100 feet according to a pilot friend who was observing. I found it easy to fly, but that is my opinion. The kit for this plane last year was $18,995, not including the labor and incidental expense to complete the craft, and also not including the cost of the engine or propeller, or the instruments. If you look carefully at the 21 included pictures, most, if not all of your questions will be answered. If you have any additional questions, please contact me and I will be happy to answer them. I have acquired another airplane, so I have no need of two. Thanks for looking .. And Good luck The plane, like most has minor hangar rash.. Also one of the exhaust temp gauges is not working. IF YOU ARE THE WINNING BIDDER, AND ARRIVE IN HENDERSONVILLE TO PICK UP THE PLANE, I PERSONALLY GUARANTEE YOU ARE SATISFIED,OR YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE THE PLANE. YOUR DEPOSIT WILL BE RETURNED IN FULL......I have a 100% Ebay rating, and I plan to keep it at 100% |
