F.8L Falco, N41854 |
Tom Towle with Falco N41854
This pristine Falco is the handiwork of a retired Ford Motor Company engineer, and built over the course on several years. He spared no expense, and time was no factor in his hand-crafting this marvelous example of the "Ferrari of the Air," as the Europeans call it. I am a retired US Army Aviator with experience in single and multi-engine fixed-wing and helicopters, but none of those aircraft came close to the thrill and pride of ownership I have enjoyed these last two years and 250 hours or so in N41854. It is for sale because of changing life conditions which preclude my reasonable use of the plane. It needs a good home and an appreciative new owner who will give it the use it deserves. It's for the man or gal who has everything, except a Falco. This aircraft is ready to go. In June I flew from Mineola, TX to Morristown, NJ: a total of 8 hours from takeoff to landing (including a fuel stop in KY), about 1500 sm if I recall. That's getting there fast and in style. My 50th high school reunion classmates were impressed :-) Total Time Aircraft: 318 hours, First flew: 1994 |
Equipment includes: TerraNavComm TXN-920 (with VOR) II Morrow Loran 612B Narco AT150 Transponder (recent inspection/OK) Garmin GPS Model 195 (Don't leave home without it!) Huntington Lift Reserve Indicator GEM Engine Monitor EGT/CHT Encg Altimeter Narco AR 850 Strobes and Nav and Landing Lights Interior Lighting to include Post Lights David Clark Intercom System (Isocom) Gray Leather Interior Fuel Totalizer System Brackett Air Cleaner (50 Hrs between oil changes) Pointer 3000 ELT with new battery Other typical engine gages/note center console controls |
June 2001 Annual just completed I have probably missed mentioning something, but rest assured
that I have tried to put this aircraft in "ready-to-go"
condition... so you won't have to do anything except clean the
windscreen and go. I have priced this aircraft below its appraisal
of $94,000... to $82,500 OBO in order to compete with several
other aircraft for sale, however I will accept any reasonable
offer and will accept "small" trade if necessary to
conclude a purchase. When you compare prices, please remember
to note the differences in the ages of the aircraft, and the "times"
for the engines and props... but All in all, a fine aircraft at a great price. Please call me for further info and arrange to view it. It's hangared at Mineola Wisener Field, Mineola, Texas 3F9... just north of Tyler, Texas... the Rose City. Come visit. Call or email or write... just get in touch... Thomas J. Towle, D.Min. |
