Hello Jarrod,
Things are going good here, we missed you at Oshkosh. It was a great show
and I am getting ready to post the Oshkosh report this weekend. You know I
had a feeling you were going to go for the Bellanca 14-19 even though I
tried to talk you out of it. My dad and I had a bunch of certified airplane
projects, and I learned they can be expensive to own and maintain, plus you
need an A&P, and a AI Im sticking with the homebuilts unless I hit
the lottery.
The KIS for sale list changed considerably since Oshkosh. I am sorry to
report the Moore KIS TR-1 may have a new owner by now. There was a fellow
interested in the airplane that was supposed to go see, and fly it late last
month, but I have not heard anything yet. There was also a second interested
party ready to buy - he is awaiting the outcome. When George lowered the
price he received many inquiries so I am reasonably certain he has a buyer.
I sent you some information awhile back about the Kindig TR-1 that one
was last in Michigan owned by Pete Ricard. He paid over $20,000 for it from
the forth owner who had taken it apart and was ready to put windows in it.
Pete put the new windows in it and then decided to sell it. Unfortunately he
was in a hurry and put it on EBay, it went for $8900 less than the value
of the engine alone! The plane was a little rough but the third owner
upgraded the nose gear, but without a doubt this was the buy of the century.
I am not sure who owns this one now but Ill find out eventually.
Randys airplane may still be available he does have an interested party,
but that guy needs to sell the airplane he now has first. The price of this
one in in the $50,000 range. Its a nice airplane I have seen this one
years ago, it could use a little tweaking but the airplane really boogies
along.
Siddartha Bravos Traughler TR-1 is also a very nice airplane, it has
brand new paint, and a Garmin glass panel with 320 power. Im guessing
its in the $35,000 to $40,000 range. I dont think the interior is
completely finished off, but still a real nice airplane. The 320 powered
KISes are the bomb I think even Scott S. would agree.
Michael Guy, and Bob Robinson are what I call the quiet sales. They both
posted here they would consider selling but as far as I know are not
actively advertising. I will send you the addresses I have for them but I
dont know if Michaels addy is current, you may have to resort to
facebook. Both of these are 320 powered.
Another 320 powered TR-1 for sale is Jessie Wrights located in Colorado.
Although I told him he needs to fly it around a while and enjoy it after
years of building he still wants to sell. I dont know much about this
one - he is asking $30.000. He is around the forum here somewhere. There is
a phone number for him posted.
Elden Lorahs TR-1 is ready to fly but has not flown. He is negotiable in
price - I set the price at about $32,000 in worth with a 0 time O-200, new
radios, and round gauges. The engine and panel alone are worth about
$17,000. I will be going to see this one as soon as he recovers from
surgery.
The last prospect is the Bernhardt TR-1 in Texas. Its bent and needs
work - the current owner is asking $19,000, and is negotiable. It needs a
new prop, engine rebuild (probably just new bearings), nose gear, and the
wing tip glued back together probably around $10,000 to bring to back to
flying condition.
I know there are others out there somewhere I am missing about 40 TR-1s.
They are hidden around the world waiting to be discovered. Some of them may
even be flying. We all want a nice flying airplane for little money but
there is no such thing as a cheap airplane, and when you buy a cheap
airplane you will undoubtedly pay in the end.
