1978 BELLANCA SUPER VIKING, 4224TT, 906 SMOH, NO AIRFRAME DAMAGE, 1 PROP BITE, CHEAP!
THE BELLANCA SUPER VIKING (17-30A) IS A 4 PLACE, LOW WING, FAST CROSS-COUNTY AIRPLANE, KNOWN FOR IT’S WONDERFUL HANDLING QUALITIES!
A POOR MAN’S P-51!
A GREAT CROSS COUNTRY CRUISER, STABLE IFR PLATFORM, WITH A LIGHT TOUCH!
ALMOST UNIVERSALLY, A SUPER VIKING OWNER WILL CONFIRM THAT THE SUPER VIKING IS THE BEST HANDLING AIRPLANE THEY HAVE EVER FLOWN!
AS A SERIAL SUPER VIKING OWNER/PILOT, I CAN CONFIRM THIS!!
THE SUPER VIKINGS ARE DERIVED FROM THE EARLIER BELLANCA 4 PLACE AIRCRAFT WHICH GO BACK TO THE 1950’S!
UPGRADED IN 1959 TO A TRICYCLE GEAR CONFIGURATION, THEN A BIGGER WING AND 260 H.P. IN 1964, THEN 300 H.P. AND A SPEED SLOPED WINDSHIELD IN 1967 WITH THE VIKING, THEN 1970 BROUGHT THE 17-30A MODEL “SUPER VIKING”, WITH 3 BLADE PROP.
BUT JUST LIKE IT’S 300 H.P. COMPETITION THE BEECHCRAFT BONANZA, EVERY MODEL YEAR BROUGHT IMPROVEMENTS TO THE SUPER VIKING.
A NEW DASH LAYOUT WITH A TALL CENTER STACK FOR MODERN RADIOS AND A PERFECT 6 PACK GUAGE LAYOUT CAME ALONG IN 1973!
NEW LOWBACK, COMFORTABLE CAR-LIKE BUCKET SEATS WITH ADJUSTABLE HEADRESTS IN 1976.
ALSO IN 1976, THE COWLING WAS REVISED TO BE SLEEKER, AND A FRONT NOSEGEAR DOOR WAS ADDED FOR THE FIRST TIME!
THIS 1978 MODEL SUPER VIKING HAS ALL THESE IMPROVEMENTS AS ABOVE:
PLUS, ANOTHER NOSEGEAR DOOR TO CLOSE THE NOSEWELL
300 H.P. CONTINENTAL IO-520
BEAUTIFUL DASH LAYOUT
75 GALLONS OF FUEL
COMFORTABLE BUCKETS AND A FULL BENCH REAR WITH “SEGMENTED” BUCKET LOOK AND ALL 4 INDIVIDUAL HEADRESTS!
NOTE THAT ALL 4 POSITIONS HAVE SHOULDER HARNESSES FROM THE FACTORY!
THICKER RAM’S HORN CONTROL WHEELS
LARGE BAGGAGE COMPARTMENT WITH LOCKABLE SEPERATE OUTSIDE DOOR.
THIS PILOT OF THIS AIRPLANE HAD A LITTLE “OFF TAXIWAY” EXPERIENCE WHERE HE GOT DISTRACTED AND CLIPPED A TAXIWAY LIGHT ON HIS WAY TO THE RUNUP PAD, THEN STEERED IT BACK STRAIGHT ONTO THE TAXIWAY.
THE ENGINE NEVER MISSED A BEAT, BUT HE WAS SHAKEN UP A BIT, SO HE TAXIED THE AIRPLANE BACK TO HIS HANGER AND NEVER SAID A WORD TO ANYONE AT THE AIRPORT!
RATHER THAN REPAIR THE AIRPLANE, THE OWNER/PILOT DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO HANG UP HIS SPURS.
YOU CAN SEE THE DAMAGE TO THE ONE PROP BLADE ON THE HARTZELL 3 BLADE PROP.
THE BLADE IS NOT BENT BACKWARD AS IT WOULD BE IF IT TOUCHED THE GROUND, BUT THERE IS A DECIDED “BITE” OUT OF THIS ONE BLADE ONLY FROM CLIPPING THE HEAD OFF THE LIGHT.
NEITHER OF THE OTHER BLADES SUSTAINED DAMAGE, JUST THIS ONE BLADE.
AND THAT IS THE ONLY DAMAGE TO THIS ENTIRE AIRPLANE!!
NO AIRFRAME DAMAGE AT ALL!
FROM SPINNER TO TAIL-LIGHT, THIS AIRPLANE IS UNDAMAGED!!
THE EXTERIOR STRIPES ARE MAROON AND CINNAMON, AND THE SOFT CLOTH INTERIOR IS A STRIKING CINNAMON!
THE SUPER VIKINGS ALL HAD SIMPLE AUTOPILOTS, BUT THE FACTORY CENTURY II WAS LITTLE MORE THAN A WING LEVELOR, AND LIKE OTHER ELECTRONICS DESIGNED IN THE 60’S AND BUILT IN THE 70’S, RELIABILITY TODAY IS VERY SPOTTY!
THIS AIRCRAFT HAS BEEN UPDATED TO THE DECADES NEWER STEC 30 SYSTEM, WHICH PROVIDES ALTITUDE HOLD, WING LEVELING AND HEADING HOLD IN A RATE BASED, ALL ELECTRIC SYSTEM!
THE STEC IS A FAR SUPERIOR AUTOPILOT TO THAT FOUND IN 95% OF SUPER VIKINGS, AND CAN BE COUPLED TO THE MODERN GLASS PANEL GARMIN OR ASPEN GLASS PANEL DISPLAYS IF DESIRED.
THIS AIRCRAFT ALSO IS EQUIPPED FOR SERIOUS IFR FLIGHT, WITH A SLAVED NSD-360 HSI SYSTEM AND A GARMIN 430 WAAS NAV/COM/GPS MOVING MAP!
ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT INCLUDES:
KING KNS-80 RNAV/NAV WITH GLIDESLOPE INDICATOR
KING DIGITAL COMM WITH FLIP FLOP
KING ADF
KING TRANSPONDER WITH MODE “C”
ADSB “OUT” TAILBEACON
AND FOR ENGINE MONITORING, AN EDM 700 DIGITAL GRAPHIC ENGINE MONITOR, A MUST TO RUN THIS ENGINE LEAN OF PEAK, WHERE IT IS MOST EFFICIENT!
THE PROPELLER WILL REQUIRE THE ONE BLADE TO BE REPLACED, BUT WE HAPPEN TO HAVE A GOOD USED BLADE AND WILL INCLUDE IT AT NO COST TO THE BUYER OF THE AIRPLANE!
AS YOU MAY KNOW, UNLIKE LYCOMING, WHOSE LAWYERS GOT INVOLVED, CONTINENTAL DOES NOT HAVE A MANDATORY TEARDOWN REQUIREMENT AFTER BLADE DAMAGE SUCH AS THIS, JUST A SERVICE BULLETIN TO DIAL INDICATE AND DYE CHECK THE EXPOSED FLANGE OF THE CRANKSHAFT, WITHOUT A TEARDOWN REQUIRED.
THESE CHECKS ARE EASY TO DO WHEN YOU REMOVE THE PROP FOR REPAIR.
THE IMPACT WAS NOT A STOPPAGE BY HITTING THE GROUND OR STOPPING THE ENGINE, SO NO ISSUES WOULD BE EXPECTED.
THIS AIRCRAFT IS IN ANNUAL INSPECTION UNTIL 11/1/2024!
IFR CERT. GOOD UNTIL 10/2024!
REPLACE THE PROP WITH THE REPAIRED UNIT , DO THE DIAL AND DYE CHECKS, AND FLY THIS AIRPLANE LEGALLY ANYWHERE, NO FERRY PERMIT REQUIRED, IT WILL BE IN ANNUAL AND AIRWORTHY.
SOLD WITH A WHOLE SUITCASE FULL OF PAPERWORK (SHOWN)
PLUS LOGBOOKS SINCE NEW FOR THE ENGINE AND AIRFRAME AND SINCE MAJOR FOR THE PROP.
AIRFRAME TOTAL TIME IS 4224
ENGINE HAS 906 SMOH BY G&N TO NEW PARTS LIMITS! (1,800 HOUR RECOMMENDED TBO)
PROP HAS 550 SINCE OVERHAUL!
PAPERWORK ALSO INCLUDES FAA AIRWORTHINESS CERTIFICATE AND
FAA BILL OF SALE!
AND THE KEYS!!
THE BATTERY IS UP, THIS BIRD IS ALMOST READY TO GO!
LOCATED AT THE RAMONA CALIFORNIA AIRPORT, 1 HOUR FROM SAN DIEGO.
WE WILL PAY THE STORAGE FEE FOR 30 DAYS FROM THE END OF THE AUCTION AND YOU ARE FREE TO PAY FOR MORE TIME IF YOU NEED IT!
AT THIS PRICE, YOU WILL BE FLYING THE CHEAPEST SUPER VIKING AND BY FAR CHEAPER THAN AN OLD ANTIQUATED BONANZA!
BELLANCA’S SLOGAN IS “AT HOME IN THE AIR”
GOOD BIDDING!!
