Comments from appraisal Sheet.

"General Characteristics:
Airframe Total Time: as of 01/31/2023 total time in service is 3,791.2

Airframe Total Time Detail of Calculation: The Hobbs meter reading as of 01/31/2023 is
50.2 hours which is the time keeping device used to determine calculated time for this aircraft.
Airframe Condition: This airframe appears to be in excellent condition given that it is 63 years old. The aircraft has not been
painted for a number of years and this gives a great opportunity to evaluate the existing metal for corrosion and damage.

Comments on Visual Examination: The aircraft airframe is clean and damage free, with the exception of slight right aileron hangar rash. The skin and lap joints appear to be corrosion free with good paint coverage, the bottom left flap has new paint,
the top left cowl has new paint and the front of the engine cowls have new been painted. There does not appear to be any significant issues in terms of dents, dings or visual damage to the aircraft that would affect the airworthiness of the aircraft.

Aircraft Renovations

Airframe: This is a sampling of renovation items, all large and small items down to the nut plates have been documented in a large 3 ring notebook, that is type written in significant detail. One of the major attractions of this aircraft is the extreme attention to mechanical detail. As an example, all the various little lights in the passenger cabin work and new rheostats have been installed. It is not within the scope of this report to list all the details, however the restoration binder is as thick as a New York phone book."

This aircraft has had extensive work completed on it.  All work is documented.  Almost 9,000 hours of time spent making this a ready to fly aircraft. 

Interesting note: This serial number is 13 serial numbers later than Songbirds number of 35548.

Interior / Exterior

Exterior Paint Condition: The paint coverage appears to be very good; it still has some sheen, is serviceable and
does not detract from the aircraft. The aircraft can be flown as is for a long time, however it is also the perfect
canvas to do your own specialty paint scheme.

Interior Condition: The interior upholstery (new condition) was stored during the restoration period and appears
to be in very good condition. As the aircraft was being reviewed the final details were being fitted in the interior,
new plastic, custom upholstery treatments and final detailing.
