For Sale 1/2 or 1/3 share in L-2M Taylorcraft at KWEA, west of Fort Worth

[SteveR]

Anyone interested? 1/3rd would be $10k. Guaranteed you'll have more fun than in any Piper or Cessna built after 1955, and at a much lower cost.

• Engine is an O-200. An L-2 is significantly faster than a cub on 65hp (85mph vs 65 to 70mph), so with the O-200 this plane is a great performer. The -M model even has spoilers, which makes it a lot of fun.
• Rear seat has a large bubble canopy for an observer, and swivels 180 degrees.
• Plane has a good transponder and single COM in the panel.
• 100mph cruise on 5gph...far better than a Cub, with much better short field performance.
• New fabric and paint four years ago.
• New tires, recently overhauled mags and carburetor.
• Sticks, no yokes. Like God intended airplanes to be flown.

I used to own a '43 L2M...great plane and lots of fun to fly, although I wouldn't call a stock one (with 65hp) significantly faster than a cub...unless your idea of "significantly faster" is +4-6mph.
