Paul -- I'm not sure that this forum can be used to sell planes...  ...if
you are okay with this, please forward the following.

Hello all,

I have an Osprey 2 For Sale - The engine is a Mazda 13B which is a zero time
rebuild.  The conversion is about 40% done -- the engine is mounted.  I am
using a four carburetor configuration (I know a lot of people like fuel
injection, but I elected to go with carburetors because I am very
comfortable with this setup).  The ignition system is based on the Real
World Solutions electronic ignition.   I also fabricated a mock rad mount
out of aluminum, but I think 4130 would be the better choice for a final
setup.   The water piping is not final -- I wanted to get an idea on
configuration and to test run the engine (which I did get it running with no
problems).  The exhaust is based on a stainless steel hollow muffler (loud),
the orientation of the muffler may look odd, but a 90 degree elbow needs to
be added -- I was trying to maximize the distance of the prop and the
exhaust.  The PSRU is a ROSS.   The cowling needs to be made, as this will
be the last step on the engine.  There is a prop that goes with the plane
too.

The airframe is pretty much done (90% +).   I was going to repaint the
cockpit, so everything was taken out.  There are no instruments, as I wanted
to eventually put glass in it.  For those that don't know, the Osprey is a 2
seater amphibious (both land/water).  Specs are attached.

I am not the original builder, but the construction is sound.  The plane has
passed all of its Canadian inspections, with the exception of its final.  To
be up front, I don't have a complete builders log; I only have a partial
builder's log -- during the years they must have been miss placed (not by
me).  I do have the receipts proving the plane complies with the 51% rule,
plans, building literature and the official inspection sheets.  The log
never concerned me in Canada because of the inspection sheets.

I'm selling it because I have started a family and I no longer have the
luxury to work on it.  I'd rather have someone else complete it; then have
it sitting in my shop for 15 years.

I was originally asking $22,000 Canadian but my bottom end would be $19,750
- this hopefully lets people know where I stand.   I'm located 1 hour north
of Edmonton Alberta Canada.  Because it is not registered, it would not be
an issue getting it into the States.

If there is anyone interested or would like more information, the best way
to get a hold of me is through e-mail -- osprey4sale@gmail.com -- I will
provide my phone number to anyone who e-mails me.

I've attached some pictures as well.

Cheers,
