Description
Detailed Description *REDUCED* Low time airframe, engine and propeller that was restored in 2008. Two place front cockpit (small people) roomie rear cockpit. Rear cockpit has a Garmin 375 ADSB in/out transponder, Garmin comm radio a Garmin G5 attitude display and a 9 cylinder engine monitor. Modern buss bar with modern circuit breakers with a tablet holder that will accommodate an IPad. The aircraft is also equipped with a smoke system. The engine is a 300hp Lycoming which give it a good rate of climb and a 130 mph indicated cruise. Not bad for a biplane! Propeller is a Hamilton Standard 2B-20. The aircraft was drafted into the Military in 1940 so she is a legitimate War Bird. We've taken the Waco to two fly in's and have won two awards! Sun & Fun and Sentimental Journey. Will consider partial trade for 1970 through 1974 Dodge Challenger or some Mopar B body cars. Will also consider other cool tail wheel aircraft. Lycoming R680 installed Poly-fiber covered
