mpess Posted August 9 Report Posted August 9 Asking $89,000 Unfortunately looking to part with my 1978 J as it’s getting to be a bit too small as the kids keep growing so we’re looking to move up to a 6 seater for the space and useful load. Mainly garmin stack GNS 430W, GTR 225, GTX345, PMA350b intercom with dual Bluetooth, original KNS80 for nav 2. Century 21 autopilot with S-Tec add on for 2 axis autopilot functionality. Shadin fuel flow meter and EDM-700 engine monitor. A3B6 motor, with two independent mags. 938 lbs useful load, 5830 airframe total time, 1810 smoh. The motor was torn down and rebuilt at 960 smoh due to a non-running prop strike and got a new crankshaft and upgrade to roller tappets. I bought the airplane in 2020 and replaced the full firewall forward hose kit, exhaust system, engine mounts, landing gear pucks, nose wheel, landing gear no back spring and the pilot inboard seat track (I also have the copilot side waiting to be installed), rebuilt the AI, and replaced both mags during the time I’ve had her. The plane has been rock solid reliable and burns less than a quart every 10 hours. Paint and interior are acceptable but not pristine. No rips or tears in the seats and the windows are like new. There is a small amount of fuel seepage in the left wing that will eventually need to be addressed, the tanks have not been resealed to my knowledge. Missing the logs pre 1988. The plane is based at KHFD and held in an LLC and I’m open to selling the whole LLC for the value of the engine reserve and remaining insurance policy if interested. 4775H prop strike repair.pdf 4775H airframe log 1.pdf
AndreiC Posted September 6 Report Posted September 6 738 lbs useful load? Are you sure? Sounds awfully low for a J.
