Ebay does not seem to post Q&As under the listing any more. Below are the updates, copied by hand for everyone"s benefit:
Q: The log books are complete from1963? A: Affirmative.
Q: Is there any damage history? A: Negative.
Q: Is it currently in annual? A: Affirmative. That"s why our description says: "next annual 03/2022."
Q: Very interested in your plane. Wondering what is the 501c3 and what does it benenfit? A: Glad to hear it. The 501c3 is Building Enclosure Institute: a scientific foundation doing research and education about protective functions of buildings" skins. See also www.b-e-i.org, and Facebook page.
Q: How is the oil consumption?! Are there any fuel leaks?
A: Oil consumption is very good, I seldom need to add any oil at all. There have been very small, dry stains around fasteners under wings, most likely fuel seepage. They were like that for several years, and because they were within allowable tolerances, no action was taken. (This is an example of a very good, detailed question focusing on some pertinent details that were not addressed in the description. Please ask more questions of this kind.)
Q: Is the For Sale and phone number spray painted on the side of the fuselage permanent? A: No. Its a vinyl decal. It may peel some old paint during removal though, but it wouldn"t make much of a difference in terms of aesthetics. The plane is generally overdue for a new coat of paint, something we intended to do, but never found the time.
Q: Is this still available? Can you please send more details? A: Yes. If you see it posted, it means it"s available. Yes, we can send more details, but if you need more information, you need to be more specific in your request. (We got tens of questions like this one, and will no longer respond to them. Please, respect our time.)
