1941 Piper J3C Clipped Wing Single Engine Aircraft for Sale in Casper, WY 82609

Owners Description:

Piper J3C

Serial Number 6943 C.A.A.

Identification Number 38333

Date of Manufacture 1941 delivered to Bevo Howard just before World War II

Noted air show performer and owner of a Civilian Pilot Training Program

Bevo Howard approached the Piper Corporation and asked them to build a custom airshow aircraft for him.

The Piper Corporation custom built this one and only Factory Clipped Wing J3C with an 85 hp Continental engine, PA-12 landing gear.

After the war, Bevo Howard flew this aircraft in and won the International Aerobatic Championship in 1946 and 1947.

Later the aircraft was used by Charlie Hillard and John MacGuire for airshows.

The airplane currently has wings built with Taylorcraft BC-12D wing ribs for a more

symmetrical shape and enhanced inverted performance.

The wings have been rebuilt with full span ailerons which should give a spectacular roll rate.

The aircraft currently has a Lycoming O360 engine with a Christen inverted oil system and Sensenich W78HM650 propeller.

The aircraft was taken out of service in 2008 and the fuselage was recovered.

New Maule tailwheel, control surface cables, new main tires.

Personal opinion, the aircraft covering should be removed, the steel tubular inspected, repainted and the entire airplane recovered.

The aircraft has a main fuel tank, header fuel tank and had wing fuel tanks for ferry flights.

The aircraft comes with an extra set of clipped J3 wings with Taylorcraft BC-12D postwar stamped rib wings and one extra set of metalized ailerons from a clipped wing cub.

All other spare parts as depicted in photographs are included in the package.

Special Experimental Exhibition Airworthiness Certificate.
