RJBrown Posted August 28, 2011 Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 First a little History. I bought my first plane N231NH in November of 1994. Flew it stock for about 100 hours before converting it to a Rocket. Sold it in March of 2003. Flew it as a Rocket for over 800 hours. Sold the plane to use the money on a real estate deal and promised myself another plane when I could. When I sold the old warehouse I started looking for "the last plane I'd ever need" Started to seriously search in Sept of 2008. Finding and buying N1079V in March of 2009. I chose the MSE as the plane to fly throughout my upcoming retirement because of the legendary efficiency of the J models. She has lived up to the billing flying efficiently on less than 10 gal per hour. Problem is with me. I still miss the Rocket. It is just too hard a step back in performance for me to be satisfied. I WANT another Rocket. So here she is, For Sale. N1079V has 1810 total time airframe and engine. The prop has 225 hours since O/H. No damage history very clean and original airplane with the Classic Plus avionics package. Including: Nav #1 KX-165 Nav Com with glide slope Nav #2 KX-155 Nav Com with indicator KLN-88 Loran KR-87 ADF with indicator KN-64 DME able to remote read both Nav Coms KT-76a Transponder Kap-150 Auto Pilot KCS-55a HSI compass system WX-1000+ stormscope Fuel Flow Meter Four Place Intercom Reiff preheat system Aero Safe Guardian Plus electric standby vacuum system.

KSMooniac Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 It might be time to ping George again too! He should be returning to the mainland sometime in the near future. Good luck with the sale, and with the hunt for a great Rocket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJBrown Posted February 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 Thanks Scott, Everyone talks about buying a runout but no one does. With 1850 on the engine I was wasting my time. Now that the engine is low time I hope to move on. It really is a clean low time airframe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet1967 Posted February 2, 2013 Report Share Posted February 2, 2013 How much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that the engine is low time I hope to move on. It really is a clean low time airframe. The problem with runout airplanes is they are only 15 grand less than a low time one. But a FWF overhaul costs 25K for bare bones, and 35 grand for the good stuff, perhaps a bit more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
