Off Topic...New Aircraft

Hey Guys,

Have been pretty busy as of late and not much time for CFS3 but hope that will change soon. I did want to show you an aircraft that I just purchased it is a 177B Cardinal with a O-360 180 hp engine and constant speed prop. It has the ugliest paint scheme I have ever seen on a plane and will go in to the paint shop the end of June I have attached a photo of what it will look like when repainted. It has a new leather interior and the plane is currently undergoing a pre-buy and annual inspection, the IFR certification was just completed. I hope to have it home next week. With the CS prop the plane will cruise at 130 kts with a pretty decent fuel burn, a lot less than a C-182 and the C-180 I used to own. Here are some photos of the aircraft, note the factory zinc chromate corrosion proofing that was ordered as an option by the first owner. It looks like a military aircraft inside when opened up.

I can understand you wanting to liven up the previous paintjob, it's sort of erm ... ah ... nnzzzzz :sleep: ... what??

And you have PM.
 
Steve that is a very nice airplane, you sure know how to make someone jealous! None the less I hope you have many hours of enjoyable flying! When my ship comes in I'm hoping for a 300 extra or a Midget Mustang!

Partner if you ever get over this way, just give me a call and I would be glad to take you up. Sean (Bonefish) came over a few years ago and we took the Citabria up. I am still waiting for my old friend Dave to get back over from the UK so we can fly together, I missed him on his last trip over.

Flying is a lot like Bass Fishing, a lot more fun when you go with a friend.

Best Regards,
Steve
