I am sure your first reaction will be that is too much for a 140!
Not really. Not for a practically new 140 it is not.
Everything has been gone through and over 95% of the hardware has been replaced. Everything that I found wrong with it I replaced or overhauled.
I am only trying to get back the money that I invested in it. Nothing for the 1000 plus hours that I put into restoring it. Factor in a $75 an hour shop rate and this is a bargain.
Why are you selling it? I bought it to sell and that has never changed. I have another airplane to fly and one waiting to be rebuilt. Actually two but don’t tell my wife.
PM me for more information and contact.
