Interior & Exterior
- Interior Notes
- The factory stock, spartan interior of this Super Decathlon is in overall good condition. The carpet was replaced several years back and shows little wear. The rugged upholstery on the seats is in good condition. The pilot's seat shows some minor wear on the piping around the top corner, but not a show-stopper. The Hooker Harness 5-point seatbelts are in good condition, as is the headliner and side panels.
- Exterior Notes
- Overall, N79AC presents well and shows the pride of long-term hangar ownership. The exterior fabric is taut, and the paint retains a deep, high-gloss shine with no evidence of UV fading, hail damage, or hangar rash. As is characteristic of robust, working tube-and-fabric aircraft, close inspection reveals minor superficial cosmetic wear expected from standard operations. These include a few small, localized paint chips primarily around the leading edges of the wing struts. There are also fine paint cracks in isolated areas of the fabric flexing points, and a small fabric patch on the top of the starboard elevator. None of these blemishes affect the structural integrity or aerodynamic performance of the airframe, and they remain virtually unnoticeable from a standard walkaround distance.
