2014 SPORT FLYER, TAYLORCRAFT REPLICA EXPERIMENTAL, ONLY 110 HOURS SINCE NEW, SUPER LIGHT DAMAGE, GREAT PROJECT, CHEAP !!

THIS AIRPLANE IS REGISTERED AS A “SPORT FLYER”, SERIAL NUMBER 1.

WHAT IT OBVIOUSLY IS REALLY IS AN EXPERIMENTAL, MODERN VERSION OF A TAYLORCRAFT BC-12. THIS AIRPLANE WAS GRANTED IT’S EXPERIMENTAL AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE FEB OF 2015, AND FLEW OFF IT’S 40 HOURS BY NOVEMBER OF 2015.

TOTAL AIRFRAME TIME IS 110 SNEW !!

THIS AIRPLANE DID NOT CRASH !!!!!!

AFTER LANDING NORMALLY, THE PILOT APPLIED THE BRAKES JUST SLIGHTLY TOO MUCH, AND THE AIRPLANE TIPPED FORWARD SLOWLY. MODERN BRAKES ARE MUCH MORE POWERFUL THAN THOSE IN THE 1940'S, SO THIS IS SOMETHING THAT ANY PILOT NEEDS TO REMEMBER, ESPECIALLY IF THEY ARE FLYING A REPLICA OF A 1940'S AIRPLANE !!

THE AIRFRAME DAMAGED CAUSED BY THIS INCIDENT IS VERY MINOR AND ISOLATED:

THE LOWER COWL CENTER “SCOOP” IS DENTED AND TORN, BUT THE REMAINDER OF THE LOWER COWL APPEARS OK.

THE NOSEBOWL IS SLIGHTLY DENTED ON THE LEFT FRONT, BUT NOT TORN, AND NOT DENTED ELSEWHERE.

A COUPLE OF THE SCREW HOLES ON THE UPPER COWL TORE OUT SLIGHTLY.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT IS ALL OF THE AIRFRAME DAMAGE CAUSED BY THIS INCIDENT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

TWO OTHER SMALL DINGS WERE CAUSED BY THE HELPFUL PEOPLE THAT CAME OUT TO ASSIST THE OWNER IN MOVING THE AIRPLANE.

THERE IS A SMALL DING ON THE INBOARD TRAILING EDGE OF THE RIGHT WING, PRESUMABLY FROM IMPACT WITH WHATEVER THEY USED TO TRY TO LIFT THE AIRPLANE. VERY MINOR.
THERE IS A SLIGHT WRINKLE TO THE BELLY FORMER AND TWO OUTBOARD TUBES, A FOOT OR SO BEHIND THE MAIN GEAR, UNDER THE CABIN. SOMEONE DECIDED THEY SHOULD TRY TO LIFT THE AIRPLANE IN THIS AREA WITH A STRAP. NOT A GOOD IDEA. LUCKILY, COOLER HEADS PREVAILED BEFORE ANY SERIOUS DAMGE COULD BE DONE, AND THE AIRPLANE WAS SIMPLY TIPPED BACK ONTO IT’S UNDAMAGED TAILWHEEL AND TOWED BACK TO THE HANGER.
THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THIS AIRPLANE !!

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE ENGINE, WHICH SUSTAINED DAMAGE, HAS BEEN REMOVED FROM THE UNDAMAGED ENGINE MOUNT, AND THE ENGINE AND ACCESSORIES ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THIS LISTING

THE ENGINE WAS AN 85 H.P. CONTINENTAL, WHICH MEANS THAT A 75, 85, 90 OR 100 H.P. (O-200) WILL ALL FIT RIGHT ON !!

I BET YOU HAVE STARTED TO REALIZE THAT SINCE THERE IS SO LITTLE DAMAGE, THERE MUST BE A LOT OF THIS AIRPLANE THAT ISNT DAMAGED!

INDEED.

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SMALL TRAILING EDGE DING ALREADY MENTIONED, THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO EITHER WING !!

REMEMBER, THIS AIRPLANE DID NOT GO OVER ONTO IT'S BACK, OR DOWN ON 1 WING !!

NO DAMAGE TO THE AILERONS OR TIPS.

NO DAMAGE TO ANY OF THE 4 LIFT STRUTS.

NO DAMAGE TO THE TAIL OR ANY OF THE TAIL FEATHERS (IT DID NOT GO ONTO IT'S BACK)

WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE SMALL PUSH IN THE LOWER AFT FUSELAGE, WHICH WAS NOT CAUSED BY THE ACCIDENT, THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE FUSELAGE !!

ALL OF THE GLASS IS GOOD, INCLUDING THE SKYLIGHTS (THIS AIRPLANE DID NOT GO ONTO IT'S BACK!

THE SEAT IS PERFECT, OF COURSE, INCLUDING 3 POINT BELTS.

THE DASH IS CARBON FIBER OVERLAY.

MODERN YOKES WITH CARBON FIBER INSERTS

NO DAMAGE TO THE DOORS OR DOOR GLASS

NOT A GROUNDLOOP, SO THERE IS NO DAMAGE TO THE MAIN GEAR OR ATTACH POINTS, AND NO DAMAGE TO THE TAILWHEEL OR AFT FUSELAGE.

THE FIREWALL IS GOOD

THE ENGINE MOUNT IS GOOD.

ALL OF THE ENGINE CONTROL CABLES ARE INTACT, AND WERE UNBOLTED FROM THE ENGINE, NOT CUT.

THIS AIRPLANE IS COMPLETE, WITH TAIL FLYING WIRES, ALL OF THE FAIRINGS, JURY STRUTS, STEPS AND EVEN HARDWARE!

AS EASY A REPAIR AS YOU COULD IMAGINE, AND ALL THE STUFF IS THERE !!

ONLY 110 HOURS SINCE NEW IN 2014/2015 !!!

SOLD WITH THE LOGBOOK SINCE NEW, AN FAA BILL OF SALE AND FAA AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE !!

THIS AIRPLANE HAS SO LITTLE DAMAGE, YOU COULD ALMOST TELL YOUR WIFE IT ONLY NEEDS AN ENGINE !!

AND ITS NOT SOME OLD DIRTY OR RUSTY BARN FIND IN A MILLION PIECES, THE PAINT IS FABULOUS AND SHINY, AND IT ROLLS WELL ON THE VIRTUALLY NEW TIRES !!

DON'T MISS THIS EASY TO FIX PLANE !!

LOCATED IN A STORAGE LOCKER WEST OF CHARLOTTE, NC. IT DID NOT GET WET !!

WE WILL PAY THE STORAGE COST FOR 30 DAYS, AND SEND YOU THE KEY !!

IT'S NOT OFTEN THAT WE GET THE CHANCE TO SELL AN AIRPLANE WITH ALMOST NO AIRFRAME DAMAGE LIKE THIS ONE, AND ALMOST NEVER DO WE GET ONE WITH THIS LITTLE TIME ON IT.
