Club Homepage Forums Classified Ads Buy & Sell - Airplanes Only 1977 Aerobat for sale SOLD

I'm thinking of changing careers and don't really need the Aerobat anymore, the money could probably be put to better use.

The important bits:
1977 Cessna A150M N9880J S/N A1500689
TTAF 4866
Engine O-200 1400 TSMOH 12/18/1990
4 New cylinders 470 hours ago
ECi Nickel Carbide plated 11/22/2006
From what I've read this helps with corrosion and stuck valves.

Has a Reiff engine heater, oil pan and element on each cylinder

Annual and ELT Due August 2016,
Pitot/Static/Transponder good through May 2017

1 year old Gill LT Sealed battery
All new tires and tubes in August

Radio is a TKM MX300 Nav/Com
Transponder is a Garmin GTX327
Has an Apollo GX-55 but the display seems to be failing and that is the one part Garmin doesn't have any more of.

I've flown this thing 170 hours in the last 2 years, so it has been flying, and will continue to until it's gone.

Just bought the EAA Auto Gas STC and have been running that for the last couple months.

Last paint job was December 1995, still looks great, I believe it's been hangared continuously since then.

Interior seats are good, at some point someone put soft vinyl over all the plastic so I assume it looks bad underneath all that, the vinyl looks ok. Panel is the factory Cessna job and has some cracks on the upper, the lower is worse and missing a few pieces. I'll try to add some pictures of that and any other angles interested parties may want.

This thing was built to spin!

The 2 that were on controller I looked at were all over the place but I'm looking for $30,000.

I have logs mostly organized on Google drive, if you send me your email I'll let you have access.

Deal breaker...

I hate to break it to you, Poobs - so was Mary Lou!

I'll keep the spins and take $1000 off the price for you.

We have a pre-nup on that.

...hmmm...... can i get that in writing and notarized???

How 'bout a Form 337 and a "Spins Prohibited" placard?

Interview went well I think today, what am I looking at cost wise to move an airplane to Washington? Auburn tiedown is about $80/month and they seem to let you bring in your own brand of gas.

I'll have lots of days off so I'm thinking west coast spin training?

Grant,

The Cessna Aerobat Spin video raised a question. I take it that stopping the engine during a spin is not SOP. Would you mind explaining what happened?

Good luck on the sale!
