Gentlemen,
It is my unhappy task of helping my friend's son sell his fathers Firefly. Dick Bezzard has left us before Christmas after a poor year of health. It is a 1996 model and was damaged on a rude landing at my place. I helped him rebuild the fuselage and he had to replace one rib on a wing. While he was at it, he cut the ailerons down from the barn door size to the size now used. It would have been completed by now if not for his health.
The fuselage is powdered coated as is the rest of the hardware and boom. The covering is done on the wings, fuselage and ailerons with the tapeing done on the fuselage. Tapeing still needs to be completed on the wings and ailerons. The tail section was not damaged at all and is still attached to the boom. All of the dope and paint for it has been purchased including Polyspray UV protection. Actually more than needed.
The 447 has 41.3 hr.'s on it and is included with a three blade IVO prop. Instruments include: Air speed, Altimeter, VSI, Card compass, dual CHT, combined rpm/egt, bank indicator and Hobb's meter. It has heel brakes on Azusa 6" wheels. Spare 6" steel rims with balloon tires on them. An upholstered seat cushion. Dual wing tip Kuntzleman strobes. 4 gal. of AV-2 mixing oil. New nose fairing and sheet metal for the floor pan. Antenna mounted on left wing strut attachment with groundplane built into wing above. Complete set of plans with building manual and Rotax manuals.
Only thing missing that I can determine is the Lexan for the wind screen. Also, the gear legs are bent and need to be straighten or new ones purchased.
Dick was a machinist by trade and very particular with his possession's. I have advised his son to place a price tag on the whole thing at $6,000. A real bargain for someone. It is hangered at Smoketown airport east of Lancaster, PA. where it has been since it's inception. If interested, I can show it to you and then provide you a contact number for his son.
You might wonder why I'm not interested in finishing it myself. It's because I already have a FireFly that I built after seeing Dick's back in 98. Can't house or fly two!!!
