Step back into the golden age of personal flying with this beautifully kept 1946 Luscombe 8A, registration N71365. Admired for its all-metal construction, crisp handling, and timeless lines, the Luscombe 8A remains one of the most rewarding classic taildraggers ever built. This example blends vintage character with the practical upgrades today's pilots expect, making it an outstanding choice for the enthusiast, the tailwheel student, or anyone seeking pure, honest flying. The headline here is the engine. The Continental A&C65 has just 4 hours since major overhaul, giving the next owner a fresh powerplant with nearly its entire run ahead. The airframe shows 2,018 total hours, a modest figure for an aircraft of this vintage. The simple, reliable Continental is known for smooth operation and economical fuel burn, and paired with a 14-gallon fuel capacity and a 540 lb useful load, it delivers efficient, low-cost hours aloft. The panel features classic steam gauges, true to the aircraft's heritage and easy to scan for stick-and-rudder flying. Fabric, Paint and Interior were completed in 2008 and both remain in good condition, presenting a clean, well-cared-for aircraft on the ramp and in the cockpit. The aircraft has a minor damage history, fully disclosed, and records are available for review by qualified buyers. Based at Leesburg International Airport (KLEE) in Florida, this Luscombe represents a rare opportunity to own a freshly overhauled classic at a fair price. Fresh engine, modern compliance, and authentic vintage charm rarely come together this well. Contact ClearBlue Aero today to request logbooks, schedule an inspection, or arrange a viewing. |
