Begging the indulgence of the list for a non-Kolb item, because this
one's personal.
Several years ago I built, flew, and then sold an Anglin J-6. It was a
good airplane, I flew it for several years, up to Oshkosh and back, and
got a write up from Mary Jones on it in the October 1994 Experimenter
magazine. It flew very well, the only reason I sold it is that flying
myself and the wife out of a short strip with a big power line just off
the end was not a good option. It had no trouble getting me and a child
in and out, but not two full size adults, so I sold it to buy my MKIII.
The buyer was a close friend who died two weeks ago, had a sudden
stroke. His wife has the airplane up for sale, where is, as is. And here
is the "as-is" part:
Her husband had an incident two years ago with it, a bolt broke, the big
rear spring the tailwheel was mounted to slewed sideways, the airplane
went off the runway and hit a ditch before he could get it stopped. It
knocked the main gear cockeyed, and caught the ground with the left
wingtip. It dented one tube on the motor mounts, and cracked the lower
cowling in a couple places. I welded up new main gear and shock struts,
and repaired the motor mount. My friend was not a fast worker, he liked
to go to the airport and piddle with it, but he did have it almost all
back together. He and I were planning to rehang the engine this month. I
have not looked at it in lately, but I think he was almost done with
everything that needed doing.
I will need to look in the logs, but best I remember - it stalls around
38, cruise is around 75, handles good, controls are light, stalls are
gentle. Climb solo was about 7 - 800 fpm, dual about 500 fpm. Has
electric flaps, strobe, day and night VFR legal.
It has a Rotax 532, low time with an almost new B box. It has a new
PowerFin prop still in the box that goes with it. It has a Terra 720
radio and a Narco transponder, and a SoftCom intercom. It weighs about
620 empty, with gross of 1200, (I think) and it has a baggage
compartment behind the seats for a tent or whatever.
Fuselage is all steel tube, wings are all wood, covering is Ceconite,
brushed and sprayed with Randolph.
I think she will want around $8500 for it, but may take less.
Attached are some pictures.
For more info email me off list, or call me at
423-323-9441, I will try and get hold of the logs and go take a look at
it so I can more accurately describe it.
It is in a hangar at Abingdon, Va. - VJI
Also - just before he died, the owner had also purchased a new Sporty's
SP200 hand held nav/com for $325, she will sell it for $275.
I will start shopping this airplane & radio around locally for her next
week, but I thought you guys might be interested in first crack.

Hi Richard,
How do you think that J6 would perform with a 912 Rotax? Kirk

I would want it back... It would be a very good and very capable
airplane. Read an article years ago about a guy who hung a Subaru on the
nose of one and loved it, so it will obviously handle the extra weight
and power.
