The paint on the plane is beautiful with only a few very minor blemishes. I would give the outside of the plane a 9 out of 10. The interior of the plane is all functional with no major rips or tears but shows its age and has not been updated recently, I would give the interior a 5 out of 10.
Engine cylinder compressions all in the mid to high 70s as of May 2026.
This airplane is a great flying classic and an excellent tail wheel trainer.
