It is Dick Weinle old plane. I was real nervous at first about flying it since it has sat for many years. But after 4 months of test flights and a annual that I helped with, it convinced me that it was a solid airplane to buy and he was willing to sell it. It is a 1980 with 1416 total hours when I bought it. I have put 82 hours on it since April. Plus I have flown some time in school planes earlier this year. Ate up with flying.
