I see your a new member...why are you covering the tail number? That makes people suspicious and doesn't make a good first impression on a potential buyer who might be interested.

He missed the N number on the panel...

This plane appearently had a gear up in 2005, not not sure about the history before 1978, that is when it took the current N number. Not sure what the original N number was, didn't look very hard.

Kind of what I thought, but then noticed the interior pic w/ the N#. This is a tough crowd and we don't miss much.

GLWS though

UPON FLARE OVER THE RUNWAY, HE NOTED THAT THE AIRCRAFT DID NOT DECELERATE AS USUAL, HOWEVER, BEFORE HE COULD RESPOND, THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITH THE LANDING GEAR RETRACTED. THERE WERE NO INJURIES TO THE PILOT, WHO WAS THE ONLY PERSON ON BOARD AT THE TIME. THE AIRCRAFT SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE.

He missed the N number on the panel...

Or he cut & pasted it in....tough to do with tail number because of background paint....easy to do with panel plate

Nezw0001 - Can you provide some background on this plane?  Looks like you were on MS about a year ago selling M20C seats but nothing since.

Guys I deleted the N number out cause I posted it on barnstormers and that is what their directions say to do.  It is N3532N.  I have owned for about 3 years.  bought it from a retired veterinarian on the east coast.  I think he had the gear up and that is when the propeller and engine were done.  

 

I found nice high back leather seats at wentworth after I bought it to swap out for the originals.  I thought I would sell the originals but did not.  A friend who has more aviation experience than I suggested I put the originals back it to sell the plane.  So now I have the high back leather seats for sale but they could go with the C if the buyer wanted them

 

I do not spend alot of time on the forum as I have been very busy starting my own business and having a baby.  I apologize for not having a ton of posts before putting my plane up for sale.

 

My husband and I recently bought a property in MT and bought a Cessna 180 that we can land right at the place.  I nearest airport is a 45-1hr drive away and they don't have hangar space.  

 

I do have the original pictures I took that have the N number and can post them if desired.  Will do my best to check the site more often.

I am not an aircraft professional, just a lowly chicken vet, so please ask specific questions and I will track them down.

I think I saw this post right about the time I joined/when you posted it, and then later I found the plane again on Barnstormers, but I never made the connection that it was the same one. I have to say the panel is perfect, I really like that setup. The other listing says that the plane is in the shop for an extensive annual at the moment. I hope you'll post back here with some more information about what came up and was fixed. Other than that I'm most curious about the airframe work that's been done since the last paint job. The pictures seem to indicate in addition to the cowl closure, that the windshield and windows have both had work since the last repaint. Do you know when that work was done, and who by? It seems very odd that there are new rivets seemingly right over the old ones around the windows. Unfortunately as much as I'd love to be able to consider making an offer I'm still a month or two away from having enough cash on hand.

Send me pictures of your seats. I may be interested in buying them. Thanks. Troy

You may want to send a PM.

The chicken Dr. Says she doesn't visit here often...
