What does it need: Nothing, it is flying now. January 2019 annual by renowned CJ-6 mechanic -Bill Blackwell. ADS-B Has NOT been done yet.
Condition Exterior: Always hangared, paint done in ’95 and is not faded, but has chips and dings from use and pressure washing. Looks great and shiny (not faded due to being hangared always) but is NOT perfect, I would call it pessimistically a 7 out of 10 because the landing gear were never painted.The nose art is a fuel/oil resistant applique’ and can be removed.
Condition of Cockpits: Redone in 2000 with a restrained warbird interior, shows a bit of wear and tear but holds up well, there is no rattle can crinkle finish in the upgrades however, Urethane paint throughout (or powder coat), I would give it an 8 out of 10 only due to some wear dings and a few of the steam gauges were left in original condition and a few parts that weren’t replaced.

Rear Cockpit:
This is a nice CJ-6 and has been family for years. Its pre-moratorium status offers greater experimental operation flexibiltiy and value. $125,000 USD, not seeking trades. Come take a look at this airplane, it won't be a waste of time, at 13-15 GPH, aerobatic, powerful and reasonably fast. This one is based at FFZ (Falcon Field) in Mesa, Arizona. With over 200 of them flying in the US and 3000 worldwide, parts and support are excellent. the bang over buck ratio is fantastic.This aircraft will receive alot of attention wherever you go.
6/1/2019 Note , these pics are dated but basically reflect the aircraft, a malcom hood canopy has been added to the front cockpit. I will add more recent ones soon.
