One of the most beautiful planes ever!

 

[RyanB]

beautiful, what a classic! She looks well maintained too

 

[Caramon13]

Wow, that is a sexy plane. Anyone have a best-guess on how much something like that even goes for?

Thanks! I got a bit of a chub looking at that one.

Let's buy it. Everyone can kick in few thou. There's an A&P at my airport who knows them, so of course it would make sense to base it here........

Ahhh the dreaded 'Sales Price: Call". Translation: If you gotta ask...

That is very generous of you

When I was looking for my plane, my wife saw a Staggerwing on Barnstormers and said she thought that looked nice. I said no problem, but the financial discussion after that changed her mood toward it slightly. Are there any pilots out there that don't like the look of a Staggerwing? I'm yet to meet one.

Guessing if he doesn't want to list the price, he knows he's asking too much.

Beaut of a plane however.

Leg room is a bit cramped, for the back seat:

If I had that plane, the back seat would only be used like I used the back seat of my car when I was in high school.

 

[BigBadLou]

Go pose as a buyer ....

 

[timwinters]

I'm working in Ohio...not too far from the plane. I'd be happy to go test fly it for anyone who's interested in buying.
You're paying the expenses, of course.

I haven't followed them too closely, but depending on condition, probably in the $200-$300k range.

 

[Ravioli]

yah, 200-500 to buy... but the way they drink fuel and the cost of parts. Damn!

Really damn cool planes. I would love to afford one.

 

[iflyvfr]

Yep, that's my all time favorite. I'd like to afford a Lambo Rob, but neither one is going to happen.

I know where you can fly one. Get the whole Staggerwing experience and see part of the Grand Canyon in the process.

 

[Sundancer]

Beauty in the eye of . . . One of the ugliest airplanes ever to offend the sky. Looks like a cross between Secretariat and a recycling bin. . .

To haul drums and the bass players amp?

You're not the only one. Something about the Staggerwing just doesn't work for me. I'd take a cabin Waco any day over a D17.

Leg room is a bit cramped, for the back seat:

Actually there is lots of legroom in the backseat. Sequence to get out is the passengers get out first, then the right seat is slid all the way back as you see and the co-pilot exits then the pilot. Reverse for getting in. And niener, niener I have a few hours in one in the left seat. Really nice flying airplane and it won't really stall it just bobs. Not that bad on landing, if you touch down straight it will roll out straight. No worse than any other planes of the era. Don

 

[LevelWing]

Great looking airplane. I got to see one that looked very similar to this, color and everything, that was maintained very well. Hope this one goes to a good home and continues to be maintained well.
