1941 TAYLORCRAFT BC-12-65, LIGHT SPORT QUALIFIED, 3,767 TT, 874 SMOH A-65, NICE, LITE DAMAGE, CHEAP !!
THE TAYLORCRAFT IS A SIDE BY SIDE SEATING, CONTROL WHEEL STEERED AIRPLANE MADE BY THE DESIGNER OF THE J-3 CUB. (YOU DID KNOW THAT THE PIPER CUB WAS ORIGINALLY THE TAYLOR CUB, RIGHT?)
THE BC-12-65 WAS FIRST OFFERED IN 1941, AND THIS IS ONE OF THOSE RARE PRE-WAR AIRPLANES.
AND IT IS A NICE ONE!!
RECOVERED WITH CECONITE AND PAINTED WHITE WITH RED STRIPES IN 1997, AND STORED INSIDE SINCE.
VERY NICE INSIDE, WITH A RED CLOTH SEAT AND A SUPER NICE, SUPER CLEAN DASH AND YOKES.
WE HAVE THE LOGBOOKS SINCE BRAND SPANKING NEW FOR AIRFRAME AND ENGINE !!
MIDWEST AIRPLANEFOR YEARS, I WAS AMUSED TO SEE THAT VAN DUSEN AIRCRAFT SUPPLIES WAS THE OWNER FROM NEW AND THROUGH THE 1950’S AT LEAST, AND THE LOGBOOK STARTS WITH A VAN DUSEN SUPPLIED LOGBOOK.
THIS AIRPLANE HAD A LITTLE PROBLEM ON LANDING, LOST DIRECTIONAL CONTROL, AND ENDED UP FLIPPED OVER IT’S NOSE, ON A GRASS RUNWAY.
DAMAGE TO THE AIRPLANE AS A RESULT IS AS FOLLOWS:
THE LEFT WING LEADING EDGE AT THE TIP HAS IMPACT DAMAGE.
THE LIFT STRUTS ON THE LEFT WING LOOK GOOD, AND THE TOP OF THE RIBS ON THE LEFT WING SHOW LITTLE TO NO DAMAGE.
THE RIGHT WING LEADING EDGE IS FINE, BUT THE FORWARD LIFT STRUT IS BENT, AND THE FABRIC ON THE INBOARD ON THE TOP SURFACE OF THE RIGHT WING IS SLIGHTLY WRINKLED, IMPLYING THAT A RIB OR TWO MIGHT BE BENT.
NEITHER WING SEEMS TO EXHIBIT ANY SIGN THAT THERE IS SPAR DAMAGE.
THE CABIN TOP IS A PLEXIGLASS SKYLIGHT AND IT IS BROKEN.
THE WINDSHIELD POST/FORWARD DOOR POST ON THE RIGHT SIDE IS SLIGHTLY BENT, AND THE WINDSHIELD IS BROKEN AS A RESULT.
THE LOWER NOSEBOWL AND THE FORWARD/CENTER PART OF THE LOWER METAL COWL ARE BOTH WRINKLED IN THE FRONT.
THERE IS A SLIGHT WRINKLE TO THE RIGHT SIDE BOOTCOWL SKIN, AT THE JUNCTION WITH THE COWLING.
THE RUDDER IS DENTED ON TOP, AND THE FABRIC ON THE VERTICAL IS SLIGHTLY SCRAPED, BUT THE VERTICAL DOES NOT SHOW ANY BENDING.
THE MAIN GEAR AND GEAR ATTACHMENT POINTS BOTH LOOK GOOD.
THE TAILWHEEL AND SPRING, AND IT’S ATTACHMENT POINT ALL LOOK GOOD.
BOTH HORIZONTALS AND ELEVATORS LOOK GOOD.
THE TIPS OF THE WOODEN PROPELLOR ARE CRACKED, BUT THE PROP IS NOT SHREDDED, AND THE A-65-8 ENGINE HAS THE SPLINED STRAIGHT SHAFT, NOT THE WEAKER FLANGED SHAFT, SO THE ENGINE IS LIKELY FINE.
IT HAS 874 HOURS SINCE MAJOR OVERHAUL, AND ALL COMPRESSIONS ARE VERY GOOD, FROM 69 TO 74.
THIS AIRPLANE WAS FLOWN REGULARILY AND WELL MAINTAINED.
THE LAST ANNUAL INSPECTION WAS DONE 12/2017, SO TECHNICALLY, THIS AIRPLANE IS WITHIN CALENDER ANNUAL, NOT A SITTER.
SOLD WITH FAA AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE, FAA BILL OF SALE, ENGINE AND AIRFRAME LOGS SINCE NEW, WEIGHT AND BALANCE AND EVEN THE KEY !!
LOCATED AT THE HENRY CO. AIRPORT (7W5), IN NAPOLEON,OHIO.
WE WILL PAY THE STORAGE COST FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTION.
THIS IS A COMPLETE AIRPLANE AND ENGINE, WITH NOTHING REMOVED SINCE THE LAST DAY IT FLEW.
WHAT A GREAT WINTER PROJECT.
YOU WILL ONLY REPAIR WHAT IS DAMAGED, YOU WON’T ALSO NEED TO RESTORE THIS AIRPLANE, IT’S ALREADY NICE!
CHRISTMAS IS COMING, WHY NOT BUY YOURSELF SOMETHING YOU WANT !!!
GOOD BIDDING!
