Mrs. B. and I need more room! The Champ needs to turn into a Sedan or a 108-3 (or, if I could steal one, a C-170B). These are listed in order of preference.
The MMO seems to have cured the engine roughness and, if I leave the oil level below 4 (I have a filter, too) on the stick, it stays in the engine.
That said, I'll be selling a really nice 1958 Champion 7FC/EC. This is not an LSA-eligible model. Gross weight is 1450; 513 useful. 26 gallon wing tanks. C-90-12 with full electric for day/night VFR (no strobes or beacon, though).
The tach reads about 94 SMOH and rebuild. New spars, struts (Univair), cover (Poly-Fiber/Poly-Tone), interior (Air-Tex fabric), prop (Sens. 76AK-2-42). Cleveland wheels & disc brakes - new in '99. 7.00 tires. Scott 3200. King 760 comm. AT Xpdr with blind encoder. hard-wired intercom. New ELT at rebuild. Powder-coated frame, gear, seat frames & controls. July '05 annual. Auto gas STC. Zeftronics solid-state regulator. Pending approval for 8.50 tires; the papers have been submitted to FSDO.
$30k - pretty firm. Hangared in central Minnesota.
Federal 1500 skis available with or after sale, for additional $1k. These have wider bottoms and dolly wheels. No-Bounce rigging.
Got a Sedan to trade? How 'bout a Station Wagon - no, not a Ford Country Squire!
