It was flown from time to time to keep it in a working condition and the engine was running periodically . Last flight was 2013. Last engine run four months ago. I bought this aircraft four months ago for my friend from abroad. A mechanic took off the wings and tail and we were going to ship it in a 40’ sea container. But suddenly.... my friend died. His heir told me that she doesn’t need this aircraft and asked me do not ship it, but to resell it here instead. You can see here it’s original ad at here (sixth from the top of the list) for $65000. And she says that it is ok, if I would sell it for less. So it is a good opportunity to get such a good plane, disassembled and ready for shipping, for the discount price. Can send more pictures upon request. No damage history. No corrosion found. It has anticorrosion treatment, but in some places it came off.You are welcome to come and conduct an inspection.Non refundable deposit of $2000 required within 72 hours. Current date: 2015-10-03
