FS:1973 C-182P Peterson 230 SE/STOL in South Carolina
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Due to term insurance conditions, it looks like I will need to sell my aircraft or get my IR ticket. Since I have decided against being a low time, infrequent user of the skills needed to be a competent IFR pilot, I believe the correct thing to do is to sell my A/C. I had been deliberating for a while whether or not I should sell my AC, but this put me over the edge. It doesn't make sense to sell it in this market, but it makes less sense to keep it and put more important assets at risk in the event that the insurance company has to write a check. As a lot of folks say, I never planned to sell it, but now it looks like my plans need to change.
All logs are scanned. A/C is N980L( used to be N6BN). I believe I bought it in 2003 from a local fellow who traveled from Delaware to SC regularly.
This A/C has original interior, 6 year old paint , new metal panel with :
Narco 121
Narco 122
2) SL40 Comms
Narco 190 TSO'd DME
PM7000A(?)
4 jacks for headsets
Flightline CRM 2101 Engine Monitor
Engine has about 400 hours SMOH by Epps, but it was done in 1994 I believe.
ACFT TT2400
Savvy Aircraft Maintenance Management
Flap gap seals
Open T-hangar storage
Corrosion proof treatment about 4 years ago I think. No corrosion found, just treated it because it seemed like the prudent thing to do on 34 year old machine.
I will have pics later this week.
Only damage I can find was in the 90's when a storm caused hangar damage which resulted in re-skinning RH elevator ( all receipts in logs since day 1)
I am a VFR only guy and just never saw the need to spend all the $ on the newest and greatest glass stuff. Thought about it a lot, but just couldn't make the decison to do that. I am glad that somebody else gets to put in what they want, because I would probably make a different decison than others. I couldn't find an interior that added speed to the A/C either
I use the True Flight FL210 GPS set-up which is plenty good for what I do.
I'll get other pertinent info posted later this week when I make a more complete list.
Asking price will be determined by then. Not teasing, just don't really know what I want to settle for.
The only reservation I might have would that I would want to, if possible, fly one more time when the guy I bought it from passes away. I told him I would scatter his ashes, and I would like to keep that promise. Expenses for the round trip would be picked up by me.
Thanks again for your time and consideration
