I will sell my old Bensen to anyone who will promise to get adequate training. I've got too many rotorplanes, something has to go.

Built in 1971, redundant mast, Wunderlich prerotator, 72 Mac with modified pistons, Tennessee prop, Menzie mufflers. 23' Martin Hollman "BumbleBee" blades or corroded Bensens, your choice.
Cushioned seat, 6 gallon marine metal fuel tank with gauge. Airspeed, altimeter, fuel pressure, CHT

Price: $3000
See photos in post below. Inflight photo available.

Here is a photo of the Bensen. It has been stored in this hangar since it was last flown.

Ron,

I'm interested. Where are you and the Bensen located? When was the last time flown or engine tested? Any damage?

George,

The Bensen is in North Little Rock, Arkansas.
It has been years since it last flew. It was flying fine when it was parked. I suspect that the magneto points will need to be cleaned and, of course, the fuel drained and replenished. It has not been damaged, at least since I have had it (since 1990).
