Low time airframe, engine and propeller that was restored in 2008. Two place front cockpit (small people) roomie rear cockpit. Rear cockpit has a Garmin 375 ADSB in/out transponder, Garmin comm radio a Garmin G5 attitude display and a 9 cylinder engine monitor. Modern buss bar with modern circuit breakers with a tablet holder that will accommodate an IPad. The aircraft is also equipped with a smoke system. The engine is a 300hp Lycoming which give it a good rate of climb and a 130 mph indicated cruise. Not bad for a biplane! Propeller is a Hamilton Standard 2B-20. The aircraft was drafted into the Military in 1940 so she is a legitimate War Bird. We've taken the Waco to two fly in's and have won two awards! Sun Fun and Sentimental Journey. Will consider partial trade for 1970 through 1974 Dodge Challenger or some Mopar B body cars. Will also consider other cool tail wheel aircraft.
