For Sale : 1940 BC-65. N26633, Leonardstown, MD

POC is Bob Cammack, 301.475.8318.
Stits thru silver in '78 followed by butyrate dope finish which was incompatible and is now coming off. Owner kept it hangered and my A&P believes the fabric is in fair shape. A-65 is right at recommended TBO (or slightly over). Owner did very little to keep it maintained. It flys. Flexible at $11,000. He's advertised it for sale several times; maybe he's getting smarter and will drop the price. Easy guy to talk to. - Mike

Hey Mike,

Do you know why the Brits don't build computers? Because they can't figure out how to make them leak oil!

If the butyrate dope can be scraped off or otherwise removed without damaging the Stits silver, then it is still airworthy by 1978 standards when Stits silver was OK to fly as-is. Maule test it at annual, and if it passes then you keep flying!

Not that I'm a smart ass or anything, but if it were me I might tell the guy I'll give him the $11K he wants if he removes the rest of the crappy and illegal butyrate dope leaving a clean coat of Stits silver.

When he says "Hell no, I ain't gonna spend that much time and money!", then I'd come back and say "Oh...so you DO understand that the airplane needs a lot of time and money spent on it, just to put the fabric back in 25 year old condition... here's $7500 in cash"

Not that Im a smart ass or anything.
