Prop: 1985-2012

Since I moved to the Summerland Key Airport in 2015, my neighbor - an older gentleman whose flying days are long behind him due to being mostly blind - has had his airplane proudly displayed in his hangar. It hasn’t flown since I have lived here, and the most recent annual inspection I can find in the logbooks was performed on 17 April 2008. Recently, his health has deteriorated even further, and he is seriously considering divesting himself of his aircraft and his hangar home. While the hangar home is spoken for, his Sierra is up for sale, and he has asked me to help him sell it.

While this airplane has been in the Florida Keys, the owner has routinely doused it in CorrosionX, and despite not flying, the aircraft has remarkably little corrosion. There are several fairings that will need to be replaced (Please see the pictures). I expect everything rubber on the plane is living on borrowed time and needs replacement. The panel is basic IFR; it does not have ADS-B installed.

The owner would love to know that this airplane will be purchased by someone willing to restore her to flying condition, but he understands that it may be best used as a parts plane to keep other Sierras flying. Aside from proximity, I have no affiliation with this aircraft, and I would be happy to do a pre-buy, a facetime look-see with any interested party and/or help work the ferry-permit for or ground transport of the aircraft. Additionally, if you are interested in the aircraft, you’re welcome to fly directly into Summerland Key Airport to look at it, but please call me first for landing requirements and approval.

I'm not making any money off of this; I'm just helping my elderly neighbor. If you have any specific questions please PM me, and I’ll provide my phone number to chat.

It hasn’t run since I have lived here (2015). The last annual was 2008. The owner is not real clear about the history of operation from 2008 onward. So, on the safe side, I’d say 2008.

Was the interior removed for the photos or is there only one seat and no side panels?

The interior has been removed for many years. The rest of the interior is in storage separately in the hangar. I took pics of it “as is.” All 6 seats go with the plane.

From my last 40 years bumming around airports, there have ALWAYS been planes like this (in about the same numbers we see now)... and pilots who want them to either restore them or salvage them for other planes. :shrug:

In the eighties there were many more. There were times that I would buy a derelict when people would show up with hangar queens for sale. I have ended up buying six or seven in a row from the same airport. That is going on with older jets now ( some free for the taking).

This Sierra is of the type that I used to buy. It may be a very good project but if it does have terminal corrosion it could still be parted out so very limited risk/exposure.

You might want to Jimmy at Jimmy’s World.

He might make a video out of the restoration. He’ll fly anything.

It looks like it has a STOL kit on it.

The contract fell through. Price reduced to $29,000 OBO.

Correction, that poser will buy anything, hype up talk of fixing it for a few months, take donations, and then wuss out and deliver it to an A&P school to seal its fate for good.

The little Sierra needs a lot of work, that's not a STOL kit they are Horton droop tips, where are the gear doors? Hangar rash on the stab trim, gear donuts I'm sure need replaced its odd to see a spacer below the nut on them, should be washers, interior the black scat tubing/vent lines need replacing, the black one's cause corrosion. The instrument panel well nothing good to say there, what is all over the control wheels? lot of missing "old" parts n pieces.

Cool rear door and layout

Like any of these, might be a score with some elbow grease, or might be ready for the can factory, seen planes that sat this long go both ways

I’d say this would be much more exciting if it wasn’t living next to the salt water and hot humidity though, but still worth a look and borescope I’d say
