Please Note: This is an archived post. The information presented here may not be current and the associated listing may no longer be active.

A 1959 Cessna 175 Skylark has been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):

’59 Skylark 175. 2,765 TTAF, 508 SMOH (1995) and 204 STOH (2009). Smooth running 175hp Continental GO-300. Fresh annual, May 2022. Lowest compression was 74! If you understand the GO300 and how to run it, this is the one for you! No ADSB but can be added for an additional $4k if you want. Logs since new. Exterior is a 7, the paint is dated 1994 and flaking a little here and there. Otherwise gets lots of compliments! Interior is a 5, needs a carpet kit and some of the interior is pulling away from the trim. Still presentable and looks OK. Auto Fuel STC but I use 100LL. Super clean inside the wings and empennage. Runs cool and smooth oil pressure always in the GREEN. New basic VFR instruments and avionics in 2009 after flood waters crept in. Was treated with corrosion X and still clean as a whistle inside. Not show winner but definitely a solid low time 4 seat Cessna.

The aircraft is located in Battle Ground, Washington and is currently available for bidding. Click here to check out the listing on eBay.

Copper State Models Shares New Renderings of 1/32 Bristol Scout

Copper State Models has released new renderings of their upcoming Bristol Scout model kit in 1/32 scale.

The company states that the model was developed with support and guidance of David Bremner, who constructed a flying reproduction of the type in the colors of his grandfather’s machine (1264). They plan to discuss the final version of this model with David to avoid any inaccuracies and note that the new images are not the final renders of the model.

Additional details are currently limited, although 1264 will be included as a livery in the upcoming release. If all goes well, the kit will be released this year. Click below to check out additional renderings.

For details on David Bremner’s full-scale Bristol Scout reproduction, see The Flying Machine #3.

1940 Piper J-4A Project For Sale: “Undamaged Wings, Fuselage, Surfaces, Lots of Parts”

Please Note: This is an archived post. The information presented here may not be current and the associated listing may no longer be active.

A second 1940 Piper J4A Cub Coupe project has also been spotted for sale. The listing states (in part):

1940 Piper J4A “Cub Coupe” project, undamaged bare wings, fuselage and surfaces, plus other parts!… The logbook that we received with the airplane only goes through 1971 and shows 847 hours, but there may have been an additional logbook after that we didn’t receive. This aircraft appears to have been fully disassembled and the fabric stripped from an undamaged airplane, as there does not seem to be any obvious recent repairs, nor is there any damage visible to the fuselage structure or the wings! Spars, ribs, channels and reinforcements in the wings look textbook! Even the leading edges look good! The horizontals, elevators and rudder are uncovered, but also show no damage… It is obvious that, although lots of parts are included, most in great condition, not every part is here.

This project is also located in Minneapolis, Minnesota and is available for bidding. Click here to check out the listing on eBay, where you will also find an abundance of additional photos and details.
