Avionics

basic flight instruments with a nice KY97A radio, transponder (NO ADS-B).

Airframe

N77839 was completely reconditioned back in the 90's and gone over with a fine tooth comb. The plane flys straight and true hands off. No hail/hangar damage. All surfaces are straight with no corrosion.

Engine / Propeller

The fresh continental C85 is just getting broke in and all compressions are 70 and above. Static run up shows this engine to be performing great. Prop is in good shape with no noticeable dings.

Interior / Exterior

Remarks

If you are looking for a legacy "show plane" it wouldn't take much to get this one there. The previous owner just ran out of time.
