No drips observed ever. To be 100% honest I hate to sell her. I have spent a lot of time fixing lots of the little things and making it as good as I could over time. I have done owner assisted annuals and maintenance (I think I changed every single screw I touched my first annual with new stainless hardware and every inspection panel that had threads messed up I fixed. New tubes in the tires with 90* valve stems so it wasn't a fight every time I wanted to check the tire pressure. Just two examples.) Please don't misunderstand me I am not saying she is perfect there is always room for improvement, but I can't think of a single time she let me down. If you are looking for a beauty queen this is not the plane for you. The interior is possibly original and could use a face lift but she safely carried me my family and my friends many miles. I bought her in the fall of 2021 and have put over 200 Hrs Tach time on her so far. I had plans to upgrade the avionics so I could get my instrument rating in this plane, but I have an opportunity to move into a newer faster plane that I feel only a fool would pass up. So I am looking to pass her on to the next caring pilot to fly and enjoy. Please feel free to DM me or email me at speed_freak_ld@yahoo.com and I will send you my phone #. Thank you for your time!

bixmooney Posted June 18, 2024 Report Posted June 18, 2024 Nice plane. Not looking but I have a 1962 C and I noticed the ignition top center and I kinda like that. Quote
Guy123 Posted December 28, 2024 Author Report Posted December 28, 2024 Price dropped and times updated 12/27/24 It's almost time for an oil change. Now would be a great time if someone wants to come do an oil change and cut and inspect the oil filter. Quote
