interior. |

complete rebuild. Each owner did major mods and maintenance
to keep the plane flying. Upgrades include seatbelts with
shoulder harnesses, tail pull handle, an electrical system with
alternator, navigation and interior lights, radio and transponder,
intercom, McCauley Wheels & Brakes, and oil filter adapter. |
