Morane Saulnier Rallye Club 880B - 1962 No 179 - Yes 50 years old this year.
Superb example of this type, the oldest and best flying on the CAA register today. No corrosion, superb paintwork (re-sprayed) bare metal by professional company. TTAF hours only 2533. After engine rebuild 2002 costing ?7500 - now only 400 hrs but wasn't zero timed ? Maintained by RH Aviation for the last 6 years - All AD?S up to date. New seat belts fitted throughout last year- prop overhauled 2007 - Mag?s done 8/2011 ? This aircraft has been lovingly maintained by the present owner since 2006 with no expense spared - All tech books going back to 1977 ? Annual completed Jan 2012 - She has been a great first plane for myself as a novice pilot and this is exactly who she would suit now. You are buying into a French character aircraft here ? and I will only sell her to someone who looks after her, as I do. She is cleaned externally after every flight ? always hangered ? comes with wired in Garmin 196, Bendix King KX 125 and GTX 327 Mode C, along with superb cockpit layout. A great first aircraft, superb all round vision from clear sliding Perspex canopy ? STOL Flying into short grass strips - she is fun with slats. Light handling stick and rudder, and 5 gall?s per hour, 22 gall's full tanks, nice slow economical flying, just great for viewing the scenery passing by below. A most reluctant sale, but time for me to let her go for someone else to enjoy her. See her on You Tube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L-yWy__MXsE
and pictures of her on Flickr.
NEW 50 HOUR 26/7/12 - Already to fly, just buy her.
