Bob Gisburne's S90 Express is for sale.
To whom it may concern:
Engine was a first run core, rebuilt by DeMars Aero in Fort Collins CO.
It is a 260hp model that I put Millenium cylinders on and high
compression pistons, so it puts out 290hp. Very smooth running and
strong engine. Total time since reman 310 hours.
Prop was a rebuild yellow tag unit from American Propellors in Northern,
CA. 3-blade McCauley, also 310 TT since reman. Also, new prop governor.
Avionics were all NEW except for the King HSI system which was a yellow
tag reman unti from JA Avionics in DuPage, IL. They built the entire
panel and it is indeed a full-IFR certified panel with an IFR GPS, the
KLN89B. So avionics is 310 TT.
I built the first series 90 conversion flying. I had built the CT tail
off the airplane and was about to put it on when EDI came out with the
S-90 conversion. I went to Oregon and flew each version one right after
the other. The S-90 felt most like my F33 Bonanza, so I wrote a check
that day. I'm VERY pleased with the larger tail and the IO540 engine
combination.
I have about $235K invested in the airplane. I had it built by Phoenix
Composites. The panel as I said was done by JA Avionics. After it is
painted and flying, I am asking $160K. I have a bunch of stuff to go
with the airplane like:
* Custom cabin cover
* Two Bose headsets with permanent installed connections for pilot/co-pilot
* Tow bar
* Several boxes of additional switches, circuit breakers, etc.
Jerry Sjoustrand knows a lot about my airplane. He has been a tremendous
help in "completing it" after Phoenix Composites was done. I have copied
him on this note in the event you wish to talk to him about it.
I will send the pictures and logs by overnight mail.
Please email me any other questions!
Thanks, Bob
