SUPER WELL CARED FOR AND LOVED !! GREAT LOOKING PAINT AND FABRIC ALLOVER LIGHT GREY WITH PURPLE AND MEDIUM BLIE STRIPES AND ACCENTS SHARP THE STARDUSTER TOO IS AN EXCELLENT HANDLING AIRPLANE, WELL KNOW FOR IT’S CLEAN AEROBATIC MANEUVERS, WITHOUT BAD HABITS. THIS AIRPLANE HAS BEEN FLOWN AND MAINTAINED REGULARLY, BUT NOT OVERUSED, THATS FOR SURE !! DURING A NORMAL SATURDAY MORNING FLIGHT, THE OPTIONAL FULL CANOPY UNLATCHED AND FLIPPED OVER ONTO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE AIRPLANE, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE SKIN AND POSSIBLE STRUCTURE DAMAGE IN THAT AREA, BEFORE LEAVING THE AIRPLANE AND STRIKING THE LEADING EDGE OF THE HORIZONTAL STABILIZER ON THE WAY OUT. SINCE HE STILL HAD THE FRONT WINDSHIELD, THE PILOT MADE A NORMAL WHEELS LANDING WITH NO INCIDENT, ONLY TO DISCOVER THE RIGHT TIRE HAD DEFLATED. THE LOWER TIRE WOBBLED AROUND AND DAMAGED THE RIGHT WHEEL PANT, AND THE RIM EDGE IS ROUGH FROM RUNNING ON THE RUNWAY. THERE IS A SMALL WRINKLE IN THE SKIN ON BOTH SIDES OF THE LOWER FAR AFT TAILCONE, WHICH MAY BE FROM THE TAILWHEEL COMING DOWN TOO HARD, OR THE SHIMMEY FROM THE FLAT TIRE, OR ?  VERY MINOR. THERE IS NO OTHER DAMAGE TO THIS AIRPLANE EXCEPT THESE VERY SMALL, ISOLATED AREAS NO DAMAGES TO ANY OF THE 4 WING SECTIONS, OR THE CENTER SECTION !! NO DAMAGE TO THE WING OR TAIL CONTROL SURFACES NO DAMAGE TO THE COWLINGS, FIREWALL, ENGINE MOUNT, ETC. THIS AIRPLANE LANDED, NOT CRASHED !! THE COCKPITS ARE FULLY EQUIPPED WITH MULTI-POINT SEATBELTS, FLIGHT AND ENGINE INSTRUMENTATION, DUAL CONTROLS, ETC. ONLY THERE IS NO ENGINE THE 0-360 180 H.P. ENGINE WAS REMOVED AFTER THE INSURANCE SETTLEMENT, AND IS NOT INCLUDED. AS THIS IS A HOMEBUILT AIRCRAFT, MANY OTHER ENGINES WILL WORK AND ARE APPROVED ON THIS AIRCRAFT.  IN FACT, 180 H.P. IS THE LEAST I HAVE EVER SEEN INSTALLED, AND 250 H.P. AND 260 H.P., BOTH LYCOMING AND CONTINENTAL ARE COMMON ON THESE AIRPLANES, AND THEY REALLY UP THE PERFORMANCE !! THE ACTUAL REPAIRS REQUIRED ARE VERY MINOR.  INSTALL YOUR CHOICE OF ENGINE AND PROP AND GO !!
