Battery moved forward Shoulder harnesses (inertia reel for pilot) Split cabin door with hinged upper section Hinged left window Cargo door Vortex Generators Steves Gaskolator Dimond plate floor Full metal belly Engine preheat with external plug and light Apollo SL40 comm. Winter covers New stabilizers in 2017 New Alternator and regulator in 2017 Cleveland 6-bolt wheels with good 8.50×6 tires. The aircraft was flown 50 hours in 2020 season, and regularly before that, but not much since then, (thus the sale). It was ferried from FBX to Anchorage in 2023 with no discrepancies noted. We just flew it after completing the annual and it makes excellent power and flies beautifully. We have just done a very thorough annual inspection and lots of TLC on it at Seaplanes North to the tune of well over $35k including the cylinder removal for borescope and new muffler. Wipline 2100 floats are included but they need extensive corrosion pinhole repairs. (may or may not be practically repairable so we are assuming their value is zero) This is A SCOUT, NOT a Citabria. It has much taller landing gear, higher gross weight (500 lbs), longer wings (almost 3 feet more span), 180 hp engine, constant speed prop, and 70 gals useable fuel. It’s a dramatically better performer and more versatile as a result and Scouts make a particularly excellent float plane. The cockpit is very comfortable due to its width and layout (especially compared to Super cubs) and it’s got toe-brakes. Airglas has a certified belly pod available for the scouts now to add cargo space and versatility. Of course, they cruise dramatically faster than cubs (approximately 105 mph on floats and 110 mph on 850 tires). It has a full metal belly and the Engine, Cowling, and exhaust, are much easier to work on than a cub. All this makes the Scout a very competitive desirable option for their weight-class but yet they punch above their weight in some regards. |

O-360-C1E 180hp. 1999. The engine was just inspected and borescoped with a cylinder removed and was in good condition. It does have light pitting on the lifters, better than expected for the age, but the cam is still in great shape so it’s expected to run to TBO. Great performing 80” Hartzell constant speed prop with 1100 smoh in 2002 (Prop requires eddy current inspection on the hub every 100 hours but it can be done ON the aircraft and has about 95 hours left until its due. Last inspection was done by AIX in 2022 for $175) |
