I have owned and flown this aircraft for the last 20 years.  It is currently located at Foley, AL (5R4).  It has been hangered for the last 20 plus years (that I know about) with the exception of 6 months last summer while Foley rebuilt the T-hangers.  It had a cover over it during that time.  Maintenance (and annuals) have been done the last two years at Foley.  Prior to moving the aircraft to a T-Hanger at Foley, annuals (one was done at Foley) were done by Continental Motors at Fairhope, AL (CQF).

N67RM (formerly D-ILBU) was brought back to the US from Germany in 1997 by my former partner in the aircraft.  Because it was delivered overseas, it has zinc chromate inside and outside. I do not have the German log books but have all the logs since it was converted back to US registry as well as a complete AD list from the time it was put into service..

Engines / Mods

Continental IO-470 L engines. Left engine has Slick mags.  Right engine has Bendix mags. The Bendix mags were just overhauled after over 1500 hours of service. Both engines have Gami injectors and Air Wolf oil filter adapters. I used only Aeroshell 100+ for oil.  Engines use about 1 quart every 4 hours. I flight plan the airplane at 185 kts (it is actually a little faster). At cruise at 8 or 9 thousand feet, i can lean back to 12.5/13 gallons per hour per side.
  

Interior / Exterior

Cloth seats
6 seats
One piece windscreen (thicker then original) - clear with no cracks or scratches.
Interior is serviceable but needs to be replaced. Seats are functional with a couple of small tears.  Carpet is worn and needs Velcro in spots.
  

Remarks

Why am I selling this airplane? I am 75 years old, bad knees and back.  It is hard for me to get up on the wing and down.  I have owned the plane for 20 years and time for someone else to take it over and give it the TLC it needs.
