Gazelle/s on Ebay

[planedriver]

Does anyone know anything about the Gazelle in Quilpie Qld. currently on Ebay, which includes a second aircraft with bent u/c for spares, or rebuild?

 

From the pictures, it looks as though its been a while since it was in service. I don't really cherish the thought of a 3000km trip to check it out.

Sure looks like to me Akro, except these come with a few buckets of extra accumilated topsoil. Never saw the other thread.

 

Certainly not worth the asking price.

I thought if quite amusing that the aircraft come with 'Jigs' so you can start mass producing your undercarrige!

 

I mean how many times have they crashed and mangled the U/C? must have been enought times to justify building the jig,

Could well be right there nuans.

 

Loved this bit...........

 

Second hand kitplanes are alot like women who've been through a few marriges.

 

Everyone's fiddled with them, they've cost thier partners alot of cash and they come with their fair share of baggage.
