1961 PIPER PA-24-250, SUPER NICE, RECENTLY REFURBISHED, NEEDS A LITTLE HELP, CHEAP !!

THIS AIRPLANE IS LIKE A TEMPLATE FOR HOW TO REFURBISH A 1961 COMANCHE TO MODERN STANDARDS

THE 337 LIST IS FULL OF UPDATES:

ONE PIECE WINDSHIELD

ASHBY GLARESHIELD

RUDDER AND STAB COUNTERWEIGHTS

WHELEN STROBES

INTERAV ALTERNATOR CONVERSION

THE RECENT UPDATES START WITH THE LATE STYLE PAINT SCHEME IN WHITE, BRITE BLUE AND RED STRIPE WITH GOLD PINSTRIPES. 

THE INTERIOR, INCLUDING SEATS, SIDE PANELS AND CARPET ARE ALL A BEAUTIFUL, MODERN NEUTRAL/ TAN

NEW HEAVY WINDSHIELD

NEW THICK SIDE WINDOWS WITH FRAMELESS CALL WINDOW

METAL MODERN T CONFIGURATION INSTRUMENT PANEL, WITH CENTER STACK FOR RADIOS

ALL INSTRUMENTS UPDATED OR REBUILT

3 BLADE MCCAULEY PROP WITH POINTY POLISHED SPINNER

THE OWNER LENT THE AIRPLANE TO A TWIN PILOT, WHO DIDNT REALIZE THAT THE $100 VOLTAGE REGULATOR HAD GONE BAD.

WHEN HE TRIED TO PUT THE GEAR DOWN, THERE WASNT ENOUGH JUICE, AND HE LANDED ON THE BELLY!!

THE EXHAUST STACK IS FLATTENED, BUT THE BELLY SCRAPING DOESNT START UNTIL AFTER THE NOSE GEAR WELL, SO THERE ISNT ANY FORWARD DAMAGE TO THE COWL OR FORWARD FUSELAGE

UP ON IT'S GEAR NOW, OF COURSE, AND THERE IS NO DAMAGE AT ALL TO THE GEAR ITSELF, OF COURSE.

ALL OF THE GEAR DOORS ARE OK AS WELL

THERE ARE SOME BELLY SKINS, BULKHEADS AND A FEW REAR FACING SCOOPS THAT TOOK THE BRUNT OF THE SCRAPING, AS WELL AS A FEW MISC ANTENNAS, BUT THE BELLY DAMAGE ENDS BEFORE THE TRAILING EDGE OF THE WINGS.

NO DAMAGE TO THE WINGS, AILERONS OR METCO WINGTIPS

NO DAMAGE TO THE FLAPS OR FLAP HANGERS (THE DAMAGE STOPS FORWARD OF THE FLAPS)

NO DAMAGE TO THE TAIL OR TAIL FEATHERS

OF COURSE THE 3 BLADE PROP IS CURLED ON ALL 3 BLADES, EVENLY.

THIS MEANS A PROP STRIKE TO THE 0-540A1D5 ENGINE, BUT AS THIS ENGINE HAS 2024 HOURS SINCE MAJOR ON IT, YOU WOULD HAVE HAD TO REPLACE OR OVERHAUL IT VERY SOON ANYWAY, SO IT'S NOT AS BIG OF A LOSS AS IT MIGHT BE.

THE ENGINE MOUNT AND EVERYTHING UNDER THE UNDAMAGED COWL LOOKS A-OK

THE AVIONICS PANEL UNITS ARE NOT INCLUDED, BUT THE TRAYS AND WIRING ARE INTACT FOR A GARMIN AUDIO PANEL, A KING DIGITAL NAV-COM  WITH GLIDESLOPE AND A  GARMIN TRANSPONDER.

YOU WILL SEE THAT THE D.G. AND TURN CO-ORDINATOR ARE REMOVED FROM THE DASH, AND THESE TWO ITEMS ARE NOT INCLUDED.

ANY OR ALL OF THE REMOVED ITEMS ARE READILY AVAILABLE, IN STOCK, FROM US OR OTHERS, NOW OR IN THE FUTURE, IF YOU WANT TO SIMPLY SLIDE  RADIO PANEL UNITS BACK INTO THE INCLUDED TRAYS, OR UPDATE THIS BEAUTIFUL AIRPLANE AS FAR AS YOU WOULD LIKE IN THE AVIONICS DEPARTMENT

LOCATED AT THE BROOKSVILLE, FLORIDA AIRPORT, NORTH OF TAMPA.

THIS AIRPLANE IS SOLD WITH AIRFRAME LOGS SINCE NEW, AS WELL AS ENGINE AND PROP LOGS, AND LOTS OF OTHER PAPERWORK

FAA BILL OF SALE AND FAA AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE, AND KEYS, ARE INCLUDED AS WELL, SO YOU COULD FERRY IT OUT EASILY.

THIS IS A GREAT LOOKING AIRPLANE, MODERN AIRPLANE, INSIDE AND OUT, NEEDING ONLY VERY STRAIGHTFORWARD REPAIRS, AND IT IS PRICED VERY LOW CONSIDERING THE UPDATES.

GOOD BIDDING !
