This is an outstanding Staggerwing. Everything is like new. Aircraft was featured in February 1995 issues of Vintage Airplane and Sport Aviation magazines. This aircraft also won an outstanding antique award at Lakeland FL. in 1994. The aircraft flies great and I would not consider selling, except I am now retired and on a much smaller fixed income.
