    Default 1961 Colt Tailwheel with an O320

    Time to move on as this Rocket is not getting used. Only 40 hours since a total rebuild from spinner to tailwheel. Fusalage and tailfeathers stripped ans painted with epoxy. Conversion kit from Univair. Pilot side brakes only. New AirTex interior. New tires etc. Two radios, one with nav. Wingtip Skybeacon
    O320 from Winchester Aero Engines. New 74 DM 59"pitch from Sensinich. Covered in polyfiber and painted with polytone.
    What a blast to fly, Climbs like a Homesick Angel. Check out the rebuild album on my profile page.
    Try $30K or offer. after all its a brand new airplane. Engine and prop are worth more than half of the asking price. Sept 2019 annual

    Was unable to post here for a time but now I'm in, I am the new steward of N5479Z. I am adding right side brakes and fixing a scratchy intercom. I have a bit of a heavy wing to rig out but other than those little things I will just fly her and appreciate John's work. The flight from Maryland to Florida was fairly uneventful thanks to John for your patience and workmanship in the rebuild. He wasn't wrong when he said she climbs, looking forward to many many "hundred dollar hamburgers"
