Hello All,

After a long search I have a deposit on what I hope will soon be my Skywagon! I am looking for recommendations of someone familiar with 180's to go take a look at the plane. If it is as nice as represented I will move on to prebuy/annual. Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks,

BTV

Twist Bigrenna's arm!

on it...

North or South of Boston?

It is in New Hampshire. Greg is going to take a look when weather allows. Thanks

BTV, I hope this comes together for you. I know you've been hunting for a while now, fingers crossed. Let me know if it works out, I'll come over and have a look
Mike

Thanks Mike. I have a good feeling about this one. Low time and long time owner with consistent flight times for the last 20 years. It is unbelievable how hard it is to find a good clean straight 180. I'm still flying the S7 every chance I get. Come down and we will go play in the canyon.

Careful Brandt... Might wanna keep this one under your hat until papers are signed. Tom has been feverishly looking for a 180. You don't want him rolling up there from the Cape and sniping your bird!

I thought he moved on to 185's. I'm glad I've got you on my side up there. Thanks


Mike - Justin from Clovis is coming over this afternoon to fly. Come on down and join us if you can.

I wish I could but I have a backhoe on the way out to fix a major leak. The rans is down, finishing up installing a thermostat and a heater. Ups has the rest of the parts out for delivery right now. Too bad, it is absolutely beautiful out.
Next time!

Which is more important-- good, clean, or straight? Sometimes you have to just be satisfied with two out of three.

Brandt,

Just out of curiosity:

year?
TT and Eng time?
Radios?
Float kit?
N number?
Owners name and phone number, home and cell if possible, and whats the best time to call?
Now where exactly did you say it was located?

JUST KIDDING...

Did you see this new listing?
http://www.trade-a-plane.com/detail/Sin ... 90965.html

Looks very nice has a 24 hr IO-520 and LR fuel.

Here is another which you have already seen.

Tom

I have seen both of those. I have focused on 57 and later models.

Oh there's more than one of us out here searching.....

I hope this one is for you B!

If you need another mechanic, I can recommend Don from the Hampton Airfield 7B3

Paul Zanis Best mechanic in the area I know of. Six Oh Three -986-7338

I was gonna recommend Zanis also. Was looking up his number when you posted. Hes at Moultonborough.

I'm not gonna speak out of turn... but it may have been a kick ass afternoon today.

Woohoo sounds exciting [emoji12]

Would it be safe to assume the name of this thread should be changed to "C 180 purchase near Boston" ????
