It has gone through a complete overhaul over the past 7 years and is back to its original, beautiful, 1940 condition. The engine had a top-end overhaul 5 hrs ago, and the propeller was refurbished by Hercules Props. All rebuild documents and photos available.
Holders had been attached to the windows to hold a hand held radio and iPhone - for Sky Demon navigation.
Initially registered as NC28707 and imported into the UK around 1999, it has fabric covered wings; and no electrics so has no radio or transponder to worry about and is started by the good old method of hand propping. Airframe hours 2878, Engine was zero hour d and now has 16 hrs.
