|
A friend of mine - Carl Hoffman - is putting his MKIII up for sale because he is in his 90's, has had some joint replacements, and is no longer able to get in and out of it without help.
Here are the pictures on Barnstormers -

It has 110 hours, the finish is fantastic, a lot of the work was done by Kolb. It has a 582 and a 3 to 1 C box with a 3 blade Warp Drive, and it is possibly the quietest Kolb I have ever heard. Electric start, hydraulic heel brakes.
It is built exactly to plans, no extra bells and whistles, I have flown it and it flies exactly the way a light MKIII with no extra stuff ought to, no "All it needs is..." stuff. With that being said, the tach doesn't work right, it reads too high. I suggested a TinyTach, I think he will just let the buyer fix it.
He wants $14,900, and there is a new trailer available, $5,000 for it. The airplane comes with covers for all surfaces.
Here are some pictures I took of it last summer when some friends & I got it out of the trailer & put it together for him. Not much detail, but you can see how good the finish is.
Phone number is 423-863-4466, ask for Ed Athey, Ed is selling it for him.
