14-19-2 For Sale on Barnstormers

[Rob58]

N7658B showed up for sale today. This plane, an early -2, has been in California for a long time. Basic radios, single fuel valve upgrade, looks pretty nice. I called the owner who mentioned that total time is less than 2000 hrs. - I asked for some more pictures. $44.5 asking price... let's see what it sells for!

This is Ozzie's old plane.

Didnt Ozzie put that one into the desert several years back? _____Grant.

 

[Larry Lowenkron]

Yes, but I don't think there was that much damage.

Larry,

Sounds like the perfect opportunity to get back into a Bellanca. Then you won't have to show up at Columbia in a Wichita Spam Can.

Tempted!

The only thing that piqued my interest was "Cruise at 160K".
Must be one hell of a tailwind..

 

[Ralph925]

Mine will go that fast, really, it says so right in the official Bellanca Cruisemaster Flightbook Operation and Maintenance. How could it be wrong? :mrgreen: :roll:

 

[leadsledfan]

"Cruise at 160Knots at -500FPM!"
It's magic!

 

[lwford]

Gee Mr. Wizard, I must have the slowest -2 out there! Lynn the crate

 

[Larry Lowenkron]

Are you guys telling me that a Cruismaster can't keep up with a 182? Why look at the attached photo I took on a recent flight to California and I was STRAIGHT and LEVEL, not in a decent!


Ok, so it was GS not TAS...you caught me there, and I came back to OR two days later at 105 KTS!!

Some days are just fast
