A super thanks for the heads up my friend. I had no idea those were out there. My wife would much prefer a SBS but I must honestly say that I doubt she'll be in it all that much. I called on it and it's for real. It's also 20 miles or so from the factory. I hope I can pull this off. As I mentioned in the other thread, it has to be trailered home because it hasn't had any taxi or flight testing. I need to establish my home airport as the 40 hour flyoff center.S-12Flyer wrote:That Super Sky Raider has a zero time Jabiru. The guy that has the yellow plane in most of my vids has a Jabiru in his plane. Nice engine runs smooth and sips gas. As long as it is a late model Jabiru it should be fine. Way better than any 2 stroke.
The super Raider has dual controls and a bigger back seat.
Not a highlander but 1/3 the cost.
It's a clean little one owner with skis and a two seater kit, no suspension maintenance required other than new manure cart tires from time to time. Do all the low altitude barnstorming you want and not get caught because it has no tail #, you can get spare parts from your snowmobile dealer and EZ can show you how to make money on the deal when you're done with it.Nosedragger wrote:Would you be interested in a Weedhopper?It's a clean little one owner with skis and a two seater kit, no suspension maintenance required other than new manure cart tires from time to time.

Yeah, it's an or what? There's a 165hp Stinson out there right now thats a show plane for probably under $20K. This little Sky Raider will keep me plenty happy. I might even put a transponder in it.

I know of a 160-horse PA-22/20 Pacer that just got sold, not sure exactly what it sold for but the asking price was $20K. It wasn't a show winner, of course, but it looked to be a pretty decent utility grade airplane. Pacers are fun to fly and very practical for camping etc.
I haven't. But I'm starting the process; some sort of inspection first. This is an interesting case Bill. This is a new experimental airplane. It needs to have a taxi and flight test program set up; however canned that might be. It's got an N number but it's never even been to the airport. I need to go see it obviously but I can't just go fly it. The factory is close by the airplane and I'm hoping today to get some input from them. I may go take an intro flight with them and have someone look at the airplane. The builder's son said that a factory rep had been by several times during the building stage. Find that guy. The builder died 3 years ago and it has been sitting in the garage for a long time, so what does that mean with regard to the engine? Call Jabiru and find out. That sort of stuff.EZFlap wrote:From the sounds of this, it appears you bought a Skyraider already? If so, congrats and many happy flights.

I need to find a trailer no matter what because of the 40 hour fly off requirement. That has to happen here; not in Idaho. Joey has one but I'm not sure if he's keen on lending/renting it out. That sort of thing. I've never owned an new airplane![]()
Oh, and I need to get a couple of I heart California T shirts to wear when I'm up there.

He's asking $22 but hinted at a lower price. I don't think it would be fair to disclose my negotiation with him. It's out of annual.whee wrote:Emory Bored wrote: There's a 165hp Stinson out there right now thats a show plane for probably under $20K.

So where's this Stinson listed at![]()

I hauled a plane 700miles on a 4-place snowmobile trailer; it worked good and might be easier to find than a purpose built trailer. U-haul trucks work nice to move planes; they have the lowest decks out of all the rental trucks.
I have noticed the long market time too. I sent the dealer the 20 questions this evening. I would need one of the Ohio boys to take a look first before spending the air miles to fly out there.S-12Flyer wrote:I would highly recommend sitting in one first. The seats do not adjust at all and the are a tad narrow. I have a good friend with one and it is a very nice aircraft. But it is slow and a bit noisy. It is an awesome short field plane but somewhat lacking in creature comforts for cross-country flights. Again, I would try it before you buy it. The 701 is not for everyone. Also, that one has been on the market a long time. Most 701's sell quickly if they are in good shape.
It would be the trip of a lifetime I bet Users browsing this forum: No registered users and 19 guests
