This 1947 Cessna 140 (registration CF-QWR) presents as a well-maintained classic taildragger with 5,236.5 hours total time on airframe. The Continental C85-12F engine shows 489 hours since major overhaul and is paired with a factory-new McCauley propeller showing just 214.1 hours. The fabric-covered wings were last recovered in 2002, and the aircraft benefits from recent maintenance including an October 2024 annual inspection, fresh 24-month certifications for the ELT and other systems, and a 2024 propeller inspection (next due in 2029).

The aircraft features practical upgrades including an alternator STC, Cleveland brakes, Scott 3200 tailwheel, and comes with new Aero Cover protective covers. The panel includes a Garmin Aera 500 GPS and Icom radio for basic VFR operations. Recent attention includes all new tires, shoulder harnesses, and ski fittings, though the skylight requires replacement. With an empty weight of 937.3 lbs and gross weight of 1,450 lbs, this Cessna 140 is located at CSG3 in Joliette, QC and comes with a new tail post tube (not yet installed).
