Inspected on two occasions during construction by friend and Sport Aviation writer the late Tony Bingelis (Tony came originally from Maine, came this way to visit relatives). Two other inspections by local EAA chapter Technical Counselor (I am now one as well as a Flight Advisor). References: Former Airline Captain Tony Petrulio, with A&E experience, assisted in the installation of the engine, prop, and cowl as well as other MX over the years and assists me during the Annual Condition Inspection for which I am licensed. Tony has flown some 40 hours with me in the Falco and knows its performance and capabilities well. He can be reached at (603) 926-4794 (NH). Falco builder Bob Bready observed much of the construction and is familiar with my experience with 644F. He can be reached at (413) 596 6113 (MA). A complete log (engine and airframe) will be provided as well as a number of other books on the electrical system, avionics literature, other components. Falco has been always hangared when not in use. Periodic oil sample records provided. A fresh Annual Condition Inspection has been accomplished, 20 SEP 2005. Aircraft is found airworthy and ready to go. Reason for Sale: At 82 years of age and 62 years of flying (USAAF/USAF/Civil) without accident or incident (short of being shot at by Japs in WWII) I do not want to push my luck. I will miss my pretty bird, but there is a time for all things; the building and flying was a challenge and a joy. Price: $75,000 (price lower than Falcos of equal quality given the personal paint scheme I used, allowing for a quality re-paint if the buyer chooses).
