1941 Ryan STM-S2

1941 RYAN STM-S2 For Sale in Blenheim, South Island Ryan STM-S2. Rare Classic WW2 Aeroplane. My Ryan STM is seeking a new owner/caregiver/investor. It is estimated that only about 6 of these aeroplanes remain in the world that are in authentic condition, never been damaged and still in perfect flying condition. This one, Serial 492, S-56, A50-29, VH-AHC, ZK-ABC, has only logged 850 airframe hours and 263 engine hours in its current 82 year life. The engine is a Menasco C4S supercharged 4 cylinder engine of 150Hp with a fixed pitch wooden propeller. (A spare new prop is part of the deal). This is the second engine to be fitted to the aeroplane because ‘way back’ the C4S had a 500hr TBO. “Charlie” (my name for him) is now certified by the New Zealand Civil Aviation Authority as a Special Category -Limited (Warbird!). To satisfy modern ATC/Airspace requirements Charlie has been fitted with Radio, Intercom, Transponder, Altitude Encoder and ELT. Genuine enquirers should email me for more details of the aeroplanes history and terms of trade.
