I did the initial test flights on a tandem two seat Bearhawk a few years back. Nice airplane. Solid feel.

Well..

We could save a few bucks on the purchase but between snags and feeding the extra engine fuel we might need to do some revenue producing flights.

If the goddamned hydraulics work, that’s a steal!

The only thing better than an IO-540 is two of them. Well, if you can hot start them anyways.

I know the Aztec is slow compared to a 310 or Baron but who cares. Easy to fly and max gross is just a suggestion.

I dunno, the Lyc 540s fire up easy when they're hot. I found its the TCM 520 that's kind of a bitch when its hot.

The problem with poor ol' Aztecs these days is most of them have seen hard lives, even if they have a new flashy paint job.

edit: that one has been sitting since 2018, which is a long time for some cranks not to turn.

"Seller does not know what it needs for an annual"

Me thinks the seller knows exactly what it needs, which is the reason he's selling!

this could be some fun

It says it $15,000 Canadian but, I wouldn’t fit in there would I?

Also, what’s “GANIKA, ROZMOWNICA” and “KABINY”?

A Polish law firm specializing in aviation. They can help you with the escrow and keilbasa.

What’s with European taildragger pricing? The other day I saw an airworthy Auster for about $15k.

I heard ICAO is cracking down on wheel landings - that's probably it.



Seems everyone in Canada has to take Soviet-style "remedial training" these days. See you at the gulag!
