Is the old girl air worthy for a 1200 mile flight 08/17/2025 19:47:10 PM
No, but maybe with a little maintenance. She runs great. There is a tear in the rear vertical stabilizer (see pics). 08/18/2025 13:44:16 PM
When was the last annual and are the logs, current registration included with this aircraft? 08/17/2025 21:21:01 PM
Last annual was 2014. All logs are available. Registration is current. 08/19/2025 12:12:06 PM
Do you have logbooks and engine books for this Cub? It’s there a possibility to do a pre-buy inspection with a mechanic? 08/18/2025 08:55:41 AM
All logbooks are available. Inspections are welcomed. 08/18/2025 13:45:40 PM
Why has this aircraft been out of annual for 11 years? 08/19/2025 11:29:23 AM
The aircraft owner lived out of state and would periodically fly in, maintenance, and fly the aircraft. However, he passed away and no documentation was found attesting to this. The aircraft starts easy and runs well. The tear in the fabric happened recently while moving it in and out of the hangar. 08/19/2025 12:25:21 PM
Any details about the rest of the fabric? When was fabric last redone? Any fabric testing done? Punch test? How did tail get torn? Is it weak? 09/15/2025 18:16:06 PM
Fabric was damaged in a hangar incident moving the aircraft. I do not have any other information regarding the fabric. 10/14/2025 12:06:10 PM
What happened with the previous auction closing? Can you say why it was relisted? 09/24/2025 19:55:24 PM
