No, not Wilbur...

N761YE
TTAF is 6523 and 749 SMOH done by Western Skyways in Colorado in 2010. The Sparrowhawk STC ups the HP to 125. The annual is due the end of next month.

It's lived outside in Las Vegas for the last 15 years and the paint is faded and the plastic brittle. It has two flip flop radios, KLN89b, Garmin GTX 327 mode c transponder. Also has 2 parachutes and wheel pants, one of which was damaged on a rough strip, but is serviceable. Logs since new and no accidents or incidents.

Interesting. How do you know of this? Any history?

You'll have to ask Rita. I don't know her or the airplane. She just contacted me as she knew I have an Aerobat.

Catherine,

I saw an E33C sitting at Galveston on Wednesday. The distinctive checkerboard swatches on the vertical stab and wingtips gave it away. Those things look like a LOT of fun. Truly cross-country capable machine, with the brawn to mix it up a little bit if you wanna!

Niki was a great find. Congratulations!

Aerobatics is a whole 'nother subset of flying that most of us don't participate in much if at all smile. I knew there were a few aerobatic Bonanza's out there, and it is pretty cool that one of us has one smile.

I like the Aerobat graphic on the tail. Was that factory?

Thanks, Gary. I love Niky--that she combines an honest cross-country machine with a fun way to get upside down is amazing. smile

That being said, Wilbur is a spin machine and I plan to keep him forever.

Just curious. How does spinning in Niky compare to spinning in Wilbur? You are probably one of the few people around who can really compare the top-of-the-line GA to (what a lot of people think is) the bottom-of-the-line. smile
