The plane is now at Corona (AJO) Airport. Still interested in selling. Make an offer. Tel 951-567-5760. e-mail at: jfkenton@gmail.com.

I hate to say this, but I was participating in the original web forum a lot more than I am now. I have to make an effort to come to this site while the old system came to you. jk

Jack, the two forums have the same exact functionality. You just have not subscribed to any topics.

And I "hate to say this" but for what you are paying ... Youre getting a heck of a deal.

I've lost a buyer. I'm still flying the plane, but it is still for sale. Last CI was March 2014.

Jack : How about some detailed pics of the aircraft , inside and out ? All Ad's complied with ? Compress test ? 79/80 ? Last time the wings were folded ? Do the wings pass the LS Check List with regard to play in the flight position with the pins installed ?

Compression of the O-320 has been running in the mid to low 70's. It fires up like a champ and, while it isn't what one especially wants to do, it is an easy engine to start by hand-propping it (actually haven't done it in years). Wings are, in my opinion, rock solid. I haven't folded the wings in 10 years or so. We did replace the oil pump gear. As far as T-18 recommendations, I never tore the wing apart to add the second row of rivets -- and the wing skin looks okay. So here are some pic's.
