Remarks

Miscellaneous parts included if you are interested. (mainly from the old wings i.e. fuel tanks).
Fresh annual included in sale.

I am 220 lbs.  I taught several students how to fly a tailwheel in this aircraft.  With the fuel tanks half full, there is plenty of useful load.  The fuel tank capacity is 40 gal. total (20 gal. a side) and burns about 9 gal. an hour.
