Note: Inappropriate postings were made on this thread. The webmaster has removed many of them so at times responses that I made to this individual and remain on this thread will look strange. I appreciate support from the many other ICS members who also felt the individual's posts were inappropriate. Rather than edit all of the posts in this thread, I put that time to better use and went flying.

Historic and New Parts for Sale

If you like history, nearly all of these parts were used on the famous Twin Comanche, N3322G. Prior to becoming the only US aircraft to race around the world twice, Marion P. Jayne (Mom) raced the Twin with a variety of co-pilots in pilot-skilled cross country races across the North American continent. The pilot-skilled world races were held in 1992 and 1994. 1994 Gold Medals were won by Marion P. Jayne (1926-1996) and Patricia Jayne Keefer in 24 days covering about 21,000 miles in 105:18 flight hours. 1992 Silver Medals were won by Marion P. Jayne and Nancy Jayne Palozola in 21 days covering about 15,000 miles in 85 flight hours. First two International victories: 1970 Calgary, Canada to New Orleans, Louisiana and 1971 Columbus, Ohio to Managua, Nicaragua. While Marion won races in many types of aircraft, her Twin was her favorite and helped her be inducted into the Pioneer Aviation Hall of Fame, be named a 100 Aviation Hero for the First Century of Flight along with Lindbergh, etc. and be inducted into the International Forest of Friendship.

As much as I would like to keep these for sentimental reasons, it is just not practical. For those who like to keep Comanches in their original state – several parts will rarely be found elsewhere.

Feb 12 update: I've received additional information on selling functional artifacts. Basically, the Museum Curators were absolutely aghast that I would sell any of the items that were on board the Twin when Mom won something in it - on the other hand, there is only so much display space.

IMHO it is simply time to disperse, for lack of a better word, these items and hopefully I won't regret it. The advice I got said at this time a minimum of $200 for any artifact that has a specific success story attached to it would be appropriate. This would include a one-page provenance document including the story particulars or $100 for the parts as shown in the photo and you'll be able to print the ICS Forum post description for your records. If the artifact can be used, then the price is market price. Pricing does not include USPS postage and insurance to your location. Photos in sequence below. Remember to double click on Photo to make it larger and clearer.

Additional Feb 12 update - I noticed that one posting author edited and removed the content of his remarks from this thread which makes the other authors posts hard to understand. If you want the details which are more suited to the Chat Forum, please click here to go to the Chat section of the Forum where I copied and posted the pertinent comments as of Jan 14. http://www.comancheflyer.com/forum2/vie ... =85&t=6410 Note that this same author removed highly inflammatory remarks from the Chat forum. It is time to move on.

Thanks for your help in keeping this focused on Want to Sell postings.

Ferry Tank Parts
In 1990 Marion Jayne raced a 1949 V-Tail Bonanza in the Vintage Air Rally from London, England to Sydney, Australia. First, she had to ferry it over the Atlantic Ocean and did so solo. These are the ferry tank parts. Then the lack of en route clearances caused her to re-install these parts using a garbage can bought in the Calcutta, India marketplace to get extra fuel to make the newly required distances. She won every first place award on every leg until the organizers quit awarding them because she’d won each prize. $100 minimum or $200 with descriptive provenance.

Ray,

I know I paid Webco $26 for it. I'd be happy with $15 and postage.

Jim,

If you want them sent to the address shown in ICS on Crosswinds, I'll send the total including postage and you can send the check when you get them. This has worked well for me with other ICS members.

[JIMICS2452]

That works for me, Pat. Thank you.

Hi Pat-
I'm interested in the Miller fuel line cover, please. Also, you don't list a price for the ferry tank equipment--how much for those items?

Thanks-

Mark, the Miller fuel line cover is yours.

Please make a fair offer for the ferry tank parts.

All victories in this aircraft until December of 1993, included this temp gauge. I will be happy to provide a certificate of provenance.

[N3322G]

Dave,

That offer is well below market and well below even eBay pricing - as for operation - it was working when removed and the photo shows that day's temp in my home. I expect to be able to receive $100 for it.

Would love the tug chains. Have to fly in the winter and we actually get snow in Tulsa.

Don,

Wonderful - so glad these can find a use. I'll see if I can stuff these into a USPS flat rate shipping box and I'll let you know the cost.
