Champ Wanted

Post by Samsam »

Hello Folks.
I'm looking for a Champ with a 85 or 90.

I would be willing to pay premium for a L-16

Finder's fee applies.

I can be reached here via private mail or at flyfishingpilot at gmail.com

Thanks!

If you bid sight unseen....

Post by CptKelly »

In my humble opinion, if anyone bids on a tube/fabric plane sight unseen, they are nuts. We looked at many Champs before we found the "right" one. Most of the photos looked good from a distance, but close up, there were nightmarish problems. Lots of screwed up paperwork too that would be nearly impossible to correct. There is a lot of junk out there dressed up to be presentable. Selling a Champ (or any other type of plane) on Ebay could be a way to hide defects, and look for a sucker, so beware.

Just my 2c worth from our Champ search,

Mike

Believe that airplane was on Barnstormers for $25000 with a description.
