Vehicle description
I am listing my 1969 Grumman Yankee AA1 with a 160 HP O-320 D2B engine. It is in great flying condition, the annual was complete April 22, 2018. Please read the entire listing before making your bid.
This is a great flying aircraft. It is currently flying from a mountain airport in Buena Vista, CO Elevation 7950 ft. With the O320 D2B 160HP engine it does fine at this altitude. It does even better at lower altitudes. It will take off at max gross weight at this airfield, but the climb out is slow (400 FPM) if the density altitude is 10000’. The empty weight is 1132 lbs., Max Gross weight 1600lbs, Max fuel 22 US Gal. I plan for two-hour legs. Around 250 nm depending on the winds. It will get around 127kts TAS at 11500 burning around 6.5 gph. It is a great aircraft that I have had since Nov 2010. I need to move up to something with more payload, my kids are getting too big to go with me in this one. Times will change a little since it is flying. ACTT 2482.3 Engine SMOH 1203.9 Engine time installed on this aircraft is 16.8 Propeller 74DM-6-0-60 was changed with the engine upgrade STC Propeller TSO 16.8 Compression"s at annual #1 76/80 #2 78/80 #3 68/80 #4 79/80
Avionics: KX170B KI 214 Needs adjustment KMA 20 TSO KT 76A One cylinder has EGT/CHT gauge Stratux with AHRS ready for your tablet ACK E-04 406 MHz ELT Current Transponder and IFR cert good until Apr 2019 but VOR/GS will need to be adjusted before IFR flight. Heated pitot Exterior: Paint is ok for the most part rough on the edges with some hail dings on the wings and tail (see pics) last paint was 1986. Two spots near the fire wall could use touch up. Does not affect how it fly’s though.
Interior: Red in good shape (see pics) could be updated but functional know issues: Crack in the sliding canopy (stop drilled) but continued past that. Damage history in logs at 97.5 hours in 1972 repairs to wing and airframe done at repair station. Could not find any more information on this. Entry in logs. KI 214 needs adjustment
Included with the sale: Only the following items are included with the sale full set of logbooks: air-frame, engine, propeller Complete
maintenance manuals and other documentation from the past
tow bar canopy cover little rough, but it works
POH Airworthiness certificate weight and balance bill of sale
I can assist the buyer with the pick-up. I May be able to deliver within reason for expenses. If you have not flown in the mountains it would be best if I bring it to a lower altitude for you. They can be unforgiving.
A deposit of $2000 is due within 48h through PayPal, the balance is due at pickup or prior to delivery through PayPal or bank wire transfer but not later than 7 days after the auction ends. Delivery for expenses only within the continental USA. I will have to work around my schedule for this to make it happen
If you bid on this item and meet the reserve price and are the highest bidder you have bought yourself an awesome airplane. It is recommended to inspect it before bidding, pre-buy inspections are of course welcome. Please coordinate early so it is done before the bidding ends. The aircraft is sold as is where is, I have done my best to cover everything in the listing but if you have questions please ask before bidding. If you want a detailed picture of something let me know and I will get it for you. Once the bidding ends it will go to the highest bidder unless the reserve is not met. The reserve is below the market value in my opinion. Bid early and often good luck.
