Buy this great 172G so I can roll the money over into another project.
I have been working on it for a dam* year and a half. Keeps me out of
flame wars.

You should see the powder-coated control wheels, what flashy little
darlins they are.

Better description in rec.aviation.marketplace. Pride of the sixties!
She loves mogas too.

Interesting point. I've got some friends who put a Stearman up for sale about
two years ago. They didn't list a price, just "Best Offer", and hardly got a
nibble for an entire year.

They then added a price to the listing...and the plane sold in a week, with
folks pleading to be put on a waiting list if the original buyer backed out.

OK, fair enough. I have started her off at $44,900 and may take a
little less. You wouldn't believe how much money and time you can get
tied up into a li'l ol' 4-place airplane. Besides the great panel and
other goodies proclaimed about this wonderful 172 in
rec.aviation.marketplace, I redid the interior plastic with fiberglas
reinforcements and paloma blanca plastic paint, brightening her up;
installed a new eyebrow and genuine leather glareshield; rebuilt the
fuel selector valve with all new O-rings, and rebuilt the nosewheel
oleo strut with a Cessna seals kit from bottom to top. The shimmy
dampener is one of those new Lord sealed units which doesn't leak like
the original.

And new Millenium cylinder assemblies, of course.

I fly this one and another 172 (whose airframe I also restored) and
just love them. This one is very quiet; it has thick sound-dampening
insulation behind the firewall and in the panels, which keeps the noise
down.

I need a little cash to roll over into a Super Cub project, so can also
sell a Taylorcraft and keep the Cessna, if need be. I have owned and
babied the '46 Taylorcraft since the eighties. So. There may be a
swaggering, manly, macho kind of a guy out there who can fly and land
this ripsnorting high-spirited taildragger.

Now, Ron, I am very unhappy that I am just finding out about that
Stearman. I feel deprived of a chance on the bidding. How much did
she go for?

I like those Rip snorting Taylorcrafts! I saw a pretty one Saturday. Red
with black trim...just needed a big "G" on the tail for the dawgs!!! ;)

Oh my, that sure sounds like latchless larry smith, the guy who's
written so much about the collective (lack of) intelligence of RAH. I
guess that opinion must have changed if he's advertising here. Oh
wait, now I get it. He's such a sly dog!

If it is latchless, then I'm sure he wouldn't want to take any money
from uninformed purchasers, so wise prospects should click here
http://tinyurl.com/cj6ta. That search won't produce the full 40 some
thousand posts (no kidding), but it should capture the flavor.

I (for one) would appreciate those of you smart enough to recognize his name
changes, would point it out for the rest of us. I could always enjoy a
better signal to noise ratio, by getting his posts out of the mix.

I don't pay much attention to flakes like WBMJerk or the illiterate morphine
doper who calls himself a NC schoolteacher [but will always be a
groundpounder], but your particularly malevolent post deserves some
attention.

In time past there was an internet nut who threatened to vandalize another's
airplane. That would be a federal crime, of course, so it shouldn't have
been a surprise when federal law enforcement agents appeared at the door of
the person who uttered the threats. Yeah, he was a wimp who turned into
Goliath when he got on his keyboard. Probably about like you --- a
frustrated lilliputian.

If I were the FAA I'd be not just a little concerned that malicious nuts
like you who purport to build and fly aircraft would be publicly expressing
a hope that someone who purchases an aircraft should die in it. Or maybe
you just meant that the person who purchased the aircraft should just die
for having purchased it. In any event, a person like you should be removed
from the pilot pool.

And you really are a little coward, because if you said something like that
face to face, you just might get your clock cleaned. Of course, pathetic
cowards like you don't say things like that face to face. They hide behind
their grimy little keyboards and their dainty little filters.

Now there's an example of coherent thinking and smooth talkin' that's
sure to make readers want to buy your plane without even haggling. But
what assurances can you give that any thesauruses that have slipped
under the floor boards over the years won't interfere with the rudder
cables?
