Very stable and smooth flying aircraft. It has been described as the "Cadillac of the Sky" which is very different from other models I have flown. aircraft was restored after purchase in 2010/2011 and the results speak for themselves. If it was broken or worn, it was fixed or replaced. Since the restoration, the engine cylinders were replaced, as was much of the fuel and ignition system. MRGB was overhauled in 2014, and has less than 70 hours on it. Other components have good life left and the aircraft is in general excellent mechanical condition. Current owner flew it regularly, averaging over 100 hours per year, including 2 cross-continental voyages, both north-south and east-west across North America. Only reason it is being sold is I have been transferred overseas for work, and my current location does not have avgas. If I could continue flying it here, I would. But I can't. Since I would rather see it fly than collect dust, it is reluctantly being sold. Contact by e-mail ([email protected]) for component time sheets and contact information for AMO where it is being stored. Visit facebook page for many photos and videos. www.facebook.com/1981enstromhelicopterforsale Will ferry aircraft within North America upon completion of sale (if requested) and provide type rating training (for Canadian licenced pilots) and an equivalent training 'course' to FAA certified pilots to obtain a basic understanding of the Enstrom C model.

Nice leather interior. Seat converts from a 2 person "trainer" configuration to a 3 person "personal" configuration. Can be flown with 2 passengers (co-pilot collective removed and middle seat cushion inserted) or 1 passenger with or without co-pilot collective. Co-Pilot cyclic and pedals can also be removed for added passenger comfort or to increase interior load capacity.
