 MAKE ME AN OFFER I CAN'T REFUSE--WHAT ARE YOU WAITING
FOR?
Real Thing Cambodian Air Force paint looks
great and saves weight plus she's got ALL the Right Stuff: stainless exhaust, Garmin GPS90, King KY97A com, Collins TXP/C,
PS 1000 intercom, BIG baggage compartment, retractable step, strobes, double aerobatic harnesses, detailed cockpits, panels
and gear wells, extra thick US smoked canopy glass, US tires, airspeeds and altimeters, old wiring (50 lbs. worth) removed
and replaced with new, sealed batteries, oil inlet door, new upholstery etc etc etc. The sheet metal on this beauty is perfect
and so are all the fairings--not a flaw in sight (except one and I'll bet you can't find it!). Built in '73 and only
3323 TTAF, 164 SIRAN, 785 TTE, 177 SMOH, 177 SPOH, this is one of the nicest CJ's anywhere.
You know, I've been messing with CJ's and
Yak-52's etc. since the curtain came down and this is easily one of the nicest CJ's I have ever seen--and I've seen quite
a few. Furthermore, she been lubed with Magic Go Grease and is probably the fastest 285hp CJ anywhere--almost 180 IAS
(GPS verified) at cruise power. In fact it flew for a while without the inlet vanes and cruised at an indicated 185,
but oil and head temps were a problem (too low). The vanes were re-installed and at a cost of 8 mph, so now it
ONLY indicates 178!!! 99% of CJ's only indicate about 160 mph--or less. Where does the 18-25 mph come from?
Lots of elbow grease getting things to fit right, proper rigging, light weight and a really strong engine. This
airplane is faster on 285hp than CJ's with 400hp!
This beauty is well known here in the northwest
as the fastest non-jet Commie airplane around.
The more I look at this airplane the more
impressed I am. Others may advertise "clean and straight airplanes," but they don't compare with this beauty (and
I am personally very familiar with those "clean and straight airplanes")! Everything fits right, the sheet metal is
perfect, she runs really strong and has all of the things that can make CJ's really nice.
None nicer nowehere and now you can
make the deal of your life! The owner says "SELL!" and means it.
Was $115K and worth it--make an offer he can't refuse and steal this airplane! She's gotta go!

The fine print:
You know, I do the best I can to get all the stuff on this site down properly, the way it's supposed to be so I keep
myself and my friends and family out of trouble, but you know what? Sometimes the earth shifts in its orbit around the
sun or my wife yells at me or I stay out too late or a dog bites me or the north pole moves or Alzheimer's takes over or I
have deliriums of deranged insight or something totally unexpected happens that screws things up--nothing intentional, you
understand, but sometimes... So, though to the best of my knowledge everyhting you read here is correct and reliable,
be smart, don't take my word for it, do your own thorough investigation. Everybody's entitled to their own opinion.
Suppliers change their prices, availability varies, boats from China get the slows etc. Maybe I'm just another
raving maniac blathering idiot like your brother-in-law. Read the fine print--even if its published by the FAA-- check
the logs, get a title report, get a pre-purchase inspection done by a mechanic you know and trust, check NTSB records for
accident reports etc. Use an escrow company. Because Everything you see here is only my opinion, is AS IS, WHERE
IS with no guarantees or warrantees of any kind whatsoever, expressed or implied, not usually, but sometimes depending on
what "is" is. What you sees "is" probably what you gets, though one never knows, do one? Do your homework, then
decide. Yes, an attorney advised me to put this statement here to protect me from who knows what kinda legal baloney I could
get tangled up in otherwise. Life in the fast lane ain't always what its cracked up to be. Etc etc etc. Sheesh!
This is disgusting stuff! Better go flyin' and get my mind right...
