Mitchell Wing T-10D Kit for Sale!

I have a Mitchell Wing T-10D 2 place kit for sale.  I purchased this kit directly from Ameriplanes in Truo, Iowa back in 2004 when they were still in business.  In one exhausting week I made the trek from Medford, Oregon to Iowa and back.....yikes!

The kit is exactly as I received it from Ameriplanes.  It includes the main wing section, the two outboard wing sections, stabilators, wing tips, chassis parts, pod forward and exterior, Rotax 503 motor mount, etc, etc.  All wing sections are still covered in the factory plastic, just as I received them.  All that needs to be added is engine, prop and instruments.

This two place kit can be built experimental and legally flown under light sport rules.  It could also qualify and be registered as a motor glider.  It may be the only existing such kit still in existence!

Open to all reasonable and unreasonable offers!

Parting is Such Sweet Sorrow!

David from Portland showed up right on time today to pick up the A-10D, which is now officially SOLD!

I have to admit it was somewhat bitter sweet to see my little bird driving away.  I take solace in the fact that David is a very motivated and capable individual, assuring that the A-10 will be up and flying soon!

*Aircraft Update*

There is a pending sale on the Mitchell Wing A-10.  David from Portland came down today to inspect the aircraft.  He made a deposit and will pick up the aircraft within the next week.  Congratulations David on your new airplane.  I look forward to seeing it flying!

Still up for sale are the Mitchell Wing T-10 kit and the custom 340 Kawasaki trike, 17m Manta wing and trailer.  Get them quick while they are still available!

Eureka!!!! Scored a Hangar!!

Finally....after waiting for about 4 1/2 years I  scored a hangar at Creswell airport!

To me this means so many great things.  First of all, I will have a place for all my flying aircraft and projects.  One of the biggest roadblocks to making progress on my various flying machines has been not having a comfortable, enclosed space to work.  The new hangar is a completely enclosed T-hangar with plenty of well lit and dry working space.

Secondly, I will be able to keep my trike setup and ready to go during the flying season.   The convenience of being able to motor straight to the runway is more than I can really comprehend right now.

Moving in tomorrow!  I think I am going to pass out.....

*AIRCRAFT UPDATE*

The Jetwing trike and Moyes GTR have been SOLD!  Brian from Salem purchased both. He is really motivated and will probably make short work of getting this project flying.

All Aircraft Are For Sale!

I have made a decision to put up all of my aircraft for sale.

I am offering for sale a complete single place A10D Mitchell Wing on trailer, a two place T-10D Mitchell Wing kit, a Kawasaki 340 trike with Manta Wing and trailer, and a JetWing trike chassis with modified Moyes GTR wing.

This is not a fire sale, in that I do not necessarily need to sell any of them.  My intent
is to free my time up so that I can concentrate on one or two projects and I can spend more time flying.

Please contact me with any interest.  All offers considered.

Dreaming of Flying

Yesterday was an absolutely beautiful Oregon day.  Still a little cold, as it is the middle of February, but one of those days that makes you dream of flying.  Although flying season won't be on us for several months, a day like yesterday definitely gets the wheels turning.

Of all my projects, one is finally ready to go.  The last step for the Kawasaki trike was to build a trailer for transport.  It is now finished and also functions as a mobile hangar.  The trailer has a large ramp door which makes it very easy to move the trike in and out, with standing headroom so you don't have to stoop over. 

Within the last couple of months I also made a few improvements to the chassis.  I wanted to add a dual CHT, as when I purchased it there was only a dual EGT.  This will definitely be important for monitoring engine performance.  There was also a slight twist in the mast that I was not comfortable with.  I had Bill Larson at Oregon Aircraft Design do the work which turned out really well.  I have had a lot of good experiences with Bill and would definitely recommend him.

The only thing really left to do is test fly the trike.  It has been a little while since I have flown one....so I will definitely be taking it nice and easy.  Won't be for a few months, so I guess I will have to be satisfied with dreaming for the moment!
