Karatoo rebuild project for sale.

[Guest Maj Millard]

I am currently rebuilding a Karatoo that was damaged in Cyclone Yasi. It is an early one, in fact the one test flown to get type approval in Australia. It has an EA81 Subaru with 2.58 reduction, and 3-blade warp-drive prop. One wing that was badly damaged, is 75% repaired, the other which only has minor damage has not been started, and the fuselage needs minor repairs and a new windshield. Has long-range tanks, nice equipped panel and heaps of character !....The fuselage fabric is good, the fabric on both wings are good but will need partial re-covering, and the engine has been run and turned over recently...runs and starts well. Aircraft tyres fitted. Prop needs one warp-drive blade, rest and hub, in excellent condition. Both wings will need to be re-ribstiched due rodent damage to internal ribstitching. Wood in wings in good shape and well built. Owner offering it as is, where-is for $15,000............................................................................Maj...
