This lovely dilapidated piece of history had been neglected at a local airport for a great long time. We purchased it at auction. It would be great to track down the logbooks…
Piper seemed to be really good at chromating these models - so the airframe, while looking pretty mangy, seems in pristine condition.
Someone tried to steal the 3 bladed prop but didn’t get far enough along, and they left the upper cowling behind which we thought was missing. Turns out the local engine shop rescued it and provided it back. God bless them
All original avionics seem to have been stolen…
Soooo…the disassembly begins…opinions welcome
