Item specifics Just in time for the summer flying season. Very rare Termite
II S/N 001 N6378H built in 2003 available. This little plane is a Pietenpol
with some upgrades. The total time for the engine and airframe is less than 100
hours in service. It has a 27 ft wingspan and is about 17 ft in length. The
empty weight is 775 lbs with a max takeoff of 1108 lbs. The construction is
4130 tubing for the fuselage and tail section. There is no damage history that
I can find in the records. The wing is standard wood construction with
poly-fiber covering. It is equipped with basic instruments and the engine is a
Subaru EA81 with reduction. I have just completed its annual inspection for
this year 12/15 so it is ready to go. The engine has been fully serviced with
new plugs, oil change with filter, and the cooling system flushed and refilled.
This engine is a hydraulic lifter EA81 so maintenance is much easier. It starts
easily and runs strong. The compression is equal and balanced on all cylinders
at 185 psi. The front and rear cockpits each have windscreens. The front
cockpit is very roomy. The back is a little tighter like a sports car. I am
6’1” and 220 lbs and fit comfortably in the back. Everyone that has flown it
talks about it nice handling manors. It will cruise at 65mph with 4200rpm
indicated while only sipping just over 3 gph.
I have included several photos but if I have missed an area let me know
