I bought this gentle lady in 2009 and have had the most immense pleasure flying her. I have flown to Madikwe from Aeroden (in Magaliesburg) and
taken her to Knysna and flown up and down the beach. I have spent many sunset hours wandering around the magaliesburg without a care in the world.
However, due to health reasons i have become a bit of a nervous flyer and have not flown her as much anymore.
My wife and children are also putting pressure on me to do something other than fly, and
In addition since i am not very skilled mechanically, I have been struggeling to get the engine running completly
smoothly. Now I see that the last time I packed her up for transport on the trailer,
somehow the left wing leading edge tube was snapped! I have loved my little plane but I think its time for me to move on.
I am putting it out there for all to see that she will need some work, firstly to replace the wing tube and then to fine tune the engine and
refurbish the GRS schute (if you choose to).
There is no doubt I could get a lot more for her if I had the time and energy, but i want to move on, I am prepared to make the
deal incredibly sweet for any interested parties.
For the aircraft, the trailer, helmuts, headsets I am asking R 45 000 onco and she is yours!
