I inherited this 1982 Lazair and I am concidering selling it. The only problem is I am not sure as what this plane would be worth today. Back in 1983 I had actualy bought one and have long since sold it, so I know what it was worth back then.
This bird was built by a freind of mine who put a whole 2 hrs on it, most of it was from taxiing around. One day he told me that he accidently took off and then panicked and tried to turn to low and ended up hitting the ground hard enough to bend both wings. He then rebuilt the wings and then it sat in a trailer for the next 24 years till I showed up on the scene.
One thing I will say for my freind is that he is realy meticulous about everything that he builds and the Lazair was no exception. This unit has the Rotax 185 engines on it and they have been stored inside and are in great shape. The unit is totaly covered in tetlar and I have a spare roll with, I think enough tape to do the entire bird. I also have three extra props with it and all kinds of odds and ends as well.
The serial number on this bird is A534.
It also has a fully enclosed trailer that is home made and needs a little TLC.
I live up near Fort McMurray Alberta Canada, so I am a little ways from every one. To many trees in this country to fly an ultralite.
My Brothers still own the one I bought back in 1983 but it has not seen the skys in many years. These are truely a unique aircraft.
Happy flying.
