My other project is nearing completion, and I need hangar space, so my toy has to go to a new home...

1 each 1984 Starflight TX-1000, Rotax 377. Engine was gone through in 2017, sails replaced at that time, as well.
I installed the later generation Bing 54, and it is jetted for 2000ft field elevation and 85 degrees.
Since I have had the bird, nothing but 100LL and Penzoil Two-Stroke has gone through the fuel system.
I replaced 95% of the hardware with new AN. New Racelite pulleys for the spoilerons.
Give her a shot of prime, and the engine starts first pull.
Sails are in good shape. I have kept her in the hangar, and the previous owner kept her in his garage.
I replaced the 16" bicycle rear main wheels with Azusa 5" nylons. They seem to agree with pavement better.
Good, straight, vintage ultralight.

Contact me through the Forum Messenger.
Bird is located at 56F.

$4,000 cold green folding type.

Have a look at her flying at Youtube "Starflight TX-1000 56F"
