    Would you have a time of the year that would work for you, and how about a location.
    Thanks for you response. If you could ask others you may know it would be a grate help in starting a annual gathering.
    Thanks

    Hi Richard, I am not a pilot. I have close to 30 years experience as an avionics tech and mechanic in US Coast Guard and GA aircraft. I have spent several weeks in Alaska, including Anchorage, as a C-130 navigator. My plan is to buy/build an aircraft and get my license in it. I can arrange to fly it home with an instructor pilot. I have some questions:

    1. Is the Jabiru 3300 GEN  4?
    2. Is it a new engine (minus the 40 hour fly off)?
    3. Did you install the Hackman on the Bing Carb?
    4. Did you make any mods/deviations from the factory build manual?
    5. What prop is installed?
    6. What are you seeing in performance (speed and fuel burn at 6k to 8k ft)?
    7. Does the aircraft have an FAA airworthiness certificate?
    8. Can you send me a list of all installed avionics?
    9. Can you send me pictures (more than the ones listed in the add)?
    10. Does the sale come with a fresh annual condition inspection?

    My email is kevinrenfro7@gmail.com. My phone number is (805) 709-4923.

    Thanks,

    Kevin
