This Cardinal RG was donated to us in June 2015 and ferried to our airport, KSUS (Chesterfield, MO). That was the last time it was flown. The last time the airplane was started was in June 2017. The battery was removed at that time, in order to preclude corrosion issues. Because of the extensive work required to return this aircraft to airworthy condition, and our limited volunteer maintenance staff available, we are selling this Cardinal RG “As Is, Where Is” without a battery and with no warranties of any kind.
