Considering a sale

[bob turner]

We are considering selling this very well built airframe. We bought it for the engine, but found it needed several things, like independent brakes and a way in and out without being banged on the head with an errant flip. It has flown exactly twice, in 2006. It currently has a radio and Cub master cylinders, but they are both expensive parts and we are not thinking that they would be part of any deal.

I have a partner - this is not an offer to sell - just thinking about it. Would we be in the ballpark at five grand less engine, radio, and master cylinders?
It would come with a nice new prop, and if pressed, we could hang a 65 Cont on it.

We are currently doing medium speed taxi tests - not in a hurry, and looking for an expanded area of operation so we can fly it at our home airport. But between us we have four Cubs, so flying this thing is not a priority. The feds have promised to try to expand the area to include our airport.

I don't check here often - but can be found on the J3 Cub forum or the Champcitabria forum.

Well, after 19 months of our FSDO thinking about it, we received an unequivocal "no" for our request to do test flights within airport boundaries. It was a pretty simple "No - we do not allow test flights at your airport. Take it elsewhere."

i had really worked hard getting it ready - paint, radio, dual brakes, pre-oiled engine, condition inspection - oh, well . . .

So pretty sure we are selling. I have to double check with my partner, but we will sell the complete airframe minus radio, antenna, master cylinders and engine - probably five grand. No hail damage. Engine mount is for a small continental - prop is experimental, and goes with.

I will have to remove the wings this month, so if you want to see/taxi, hurry.
