Step aside folks. That plane, Kel’s plane, belongs here in central Texas. It’s quite dry, some humidity, okay a lot of humidity, tornados are rare at best and she and her favorite pilot, me, will look great in the deep blue skies.

An amazing opportunity it would be to own this plane. Good luck everyone, if I can’t win I hope someone very deserving does.

It’s always fun to dream about winning such a great prize. Every Wednesday (LOTTO drawing-night) brings a similar feeling. My only hope is that the winner is someone who could only dream of owning such a great plane, and not someone who could pull the cash out of their wallet and buy one. And I hope that winner enjoys many years of safe flying in their dream machine.

Good Luck to the dreamers out there!

Sorry all, I just spoke to Walter Mercado, he said the plane is coming here to Puerto Rico, it is made for island hopping

It will look GREAT on the ramp here at KDEQ. Let me know when you are coming and we’ll have a barbeque!

Wow! Looks like everyone has done claimed this plane! Ownership is probably too complicated for me now anyway. Being a mechanic in the Coast Guard has me moving a lot. So good luck guys! That being said, it would be interesting to know how the water got in there in the first place. At first thought, applying sealant to the case might be the way to go, but if the water is intruding through cooling slats…not so much. Relocating would be too complicated. Perhaps adding some deflectors. I’d really have to look at it, so when one of y’all wins it just fly it to me in Mobile, or Cape Cod, or wherever I may be at the time and I’ll fix ‘er up good!

Whoever gets this airplane, it’ll be a great airplane–but I’d surely want a new regulator if it were mine. Electrical stuff and water just don’t mix very well, and the sparking that undoubtedly occurred before the breaker popped started some pretty damaging pitting, I’m sure. Whether the alternator needs replacing is another story–they tend to be tougher.

Since I haven’t presumed that it will be coming to KGXY, I suspect that I won’t be disappointed.

OL.k watched the wonderful video with Tom Horne, he is very articulate and would have been a great teacher, any way couple of questions how high can this fly with it’s 300 hP engine, with full fuel in the wing tips what would would be the range. and finally when finished what would be its payload.
