Experience aviation history with this airworthy 1929 WACO CTO. This exceptional aircraft features a Wright R-760-8 engine delivering 225 HP, with 80 hours since major overhaul and a TBO of 1200. The airframe shows 580 total hours, with only 79.5 hours since a comprehensive restoration. It is equipped with a Hamilton Standard 2-blade prop and high-quality modifications, including Bendix wheels, Vultee BT-15 brakes, and a Scott 3200 tailwheel. The exterior was meticulously finished in 2003 using Ceconite 102 Dacron fabric with a multi-coat professional dope finish. Complete logs accompany the aircraft, and the annual inspection was completed in November 2026. This is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully preserved piece of golden-age aviation that is ready for flight. Serial number 3166.
