3403 Seawind For Sale N242PK

[ron242pk]

HI All,
It is with great regret that one of our builders has decided to sell his Seawind. Ron Greeley has put tremendous effort into making N242PK a one of a kind Seawind. The futuristic cowling is one of it's most beautiful features. I will include his email to me as well as the aircraft stats. I will give you all a look at it first before I post it to the general public.

It certainly makes me wish I didn't have a kit to finish. It would be nice to step right into this beauty!



As you, my fellow Seawinders would most certainly agree, it is with a heavy heart that I compose this letter. Certain factors have conspired to initiate the sale of a project I have been involved with for the last 25 years. Many people have contributed to the final product, but none so much as Roger Creelman, the designer of the aircraft, who over a 10 year period, put more carbon fiber into the plane than I ever knew existed, and Reid Siebert, who did all the wiring in the plane and helped with other aspects of building and testing the craft. Jack, our intrepid test pilot, did the honors with the first flight and reported that it flew like a dream. I have listed some of the more important items in the plane below. It is located in the Florida Keys, and arrangements will be made for interested parties to view at their convenience.
