Attention Full scale pilots lookin for some time.

JeeUm · 03-01-2006, 12:45 AM

This might interest someone out there. Here's the deal. I live in NC now, I own a pristine 1941 85hp Piper cub that is hangared in NJ and hasn't been flown in over a year. Instead of letting it collect dust, I'd like to get it down here, but being 6'4 and 225 lbs I'm not about to spend that much time in it. So I've got two options to get it here:

1st option is to drive up to NJ, take the airplane apart, rent a truck, drive it back. Put it back together . You get the idea. Not something I'd want to do.

2nd option is you fly it down for me. I pay for you to get there, and any expenses you incur on the way down,i.e. gas etc. Your looking at probably a good 6-7 hours of X-country time at least.

Let me know if anyone out there is interested. A very important note, you must be tailwheel rated and have some cub time. PM me for more details.

A picture. Also, I'll make sure it has a fresh annual and is 100% perfect.

Ditto, I'd drive from here to NY to get it just for the adventure LOL
I can fly (very well I might add) never done my licence, just been in planes with my dad since i was a small kid. ALL have been taildragers. (cessna 180, cessna 170, cub replica ultralights etc etc.)

Wish I were closer, wish I had the papers.

Too bad I dont live closer!!! I would do it.... I have plenty of citabria time and i flew a cub for about 10 hours... <<< I wish NJ was closer to chicago!!!
