Note of Interest (T-Craft for sale)

[Yellow Duck]

Tribe, have you noticed that there were no "T-Craft's" for sale in the last issue of Trade-A-Plane ? I find that very interesting. I don't believe I have ever seen that before.

Lots of Aeroncas and Cubs and a couple Luscomb's and Ercoupes.

Prices on these aircraft may well be comming up ? Hold on guys. You have one of the finest airplanes flying.

Lee:

I don't follow T-Craft for sale, but I DO watch T-Craft parts for sale on eBay. And that market is HOT! There must be a bunch of folks out there repairing and restoring Taylorcraft.

Check out p. 74 of the Feb. issue of Sport Aviation..."The old saying that nothing flies like a Taylorcraft was proven again"

I'm willing to bet there are thousands of EAA'ers who have never heard that old saying, but they have now. Thank you, Sport Aviation. Remarks like that and the new LSA rules are bringing long overdue attention to a great design.

Thanks Bob, will look. Haven't seen that. Also, a good friend of mine has a friend with last name same as your,I think or at least simular. He had a T-6. Any relation?

Re: Note of Interest (T-Craft for sale)

Well Lee, there's alot of Bobs around and I'm not related to all of them. And I don't know any T-6 owners.

I've been watching Barnstormers and a Tcraft seem to pop up every three weeks - Mike

Re: Note of Interest (T-Craft for sale)

I wonder if LSA is going to cause old Tcrafts to be pulled out of barns, garages, and whatever by the 100's. Would be good for all of us and aviation in general. Can't have too many Tcrafts. Makes good aviators, too.

I saw a Taylorcraft BC12-D sell on e-bay recently for $19,950. Guy had 29 bids. Its about time the T-Craft got what it was due. I've flown a Cub, I'll stick with the BC12-D.

Re: Note of Interest (T-Craft for sale)

Then why are you selling yours Rick? It's a nice looking t-craft from what I can see threw the pics. You should drop Mike a line....He might be interested if ya can wowrk out the coastal differences.

Re: Note of Interest (T-Craft for sale)

...coastal differences.

(sigh) This may be the same thing as saying "where is a policeman when you need one?", but does it seem all the Tcrafts for sale are in the far west? - Mike

Re: Note of Interest (T-Craft for sale)

Mike, or far east (coast). In Louisiana, when you find something you might like, it is always far away A guy in Sugarland TX had one for sale, but airplane was in IL. And he didn't want to fly it down here, althou he was now living here. Makes you wonder??

Guess, I will keep looking for an engine.0-200 or something. The VG's help, but I need that extra power to get two out of my strip, safely.

Re: Note of Interest (T-Craft for sale)

I have found myself with two airplanes. If I want to be able to fly with anyone I like, I'll have to fly a 4 place. Its either that or loose weight, and lots of it. My other plane is a C-172. It too has a zero time engine (Now).

Hey Rick, are you going to Columbia this year? I haven't been able to get ahold of Ron to find out when it is this year. Do you have any idea, or know how to get ahold of Ron?

[Carl Ellis]

Re: Note of Interest (T-Craft for sale)

Last year I just called him on the phone. Is he not at home this winter?

Re: Note of Interest (T-Craft for sale)

Just left Ron & Rosemary a voice mail, will post the dates when I get them. I plan to do another custom T-Shirt again. I do expect to be there in the BC12-D or the C-172 if its here by then.

Re: Note of Interest (T-Craft for sale)

Keep us Posted on Columbia. Looking foreward to attending this year if I get the engine on in time. If not may try to fly up in a Maule. May do the Maule anyway if I can get my son to fly the tcraft. That way I can get more grandkids interested.
