1929 TravelAir 4D for Sale

So I got a call the other day from Bruce McElhoe that he’s letting his TravelAir go.  Bruce and I had a great time working together restoring this airplane before I moved the shop from Hemet to Flabob and in the last few year’s Bruce has flown the airplane from coast to coast several times hitting all the fly-ins and airshow around the country and winning  many awards in the process.  I didn’t think a TravelAir could fly with that much hardware in the baggage compartment…..    While we were working on his airplane, I used to kid Bruce that his airplane was going to be spectacular.  Mine would be perfect, but his would be spectacular.  Well his got finished and he’s flown the hell out of it and mine is still in pieces, so who gets the last laugh.  Anyway, if you’re looking for the nicest TravelAir flying (until mine gets finished) give Bruce a call at 559-859-6311.  It’s got a fresh engine on it and he’s asking $190,000.  Trust me, you couldn’t reproduce that airplane for that price, it’s a real sweetheart.  There are pictures of it here if you’re interested.

 

 

 

From time to time we like to sell a t-shirt or two in order to pay for beer and what not… With one little purchase, you can support AeroCraftsman and keep the sun off your hairy back!

The AeroCraftsman Men’s Shirt

A black pocket t-shirt sporting the wonderful Caudron C.460 and the classic AeroCraftsman logo. It’s a combination that is damn hard to beat! Mostly cotton, pre-shrunk. Large logo on back, small script logo on front over the pocket and features a tagless label in the neck area to distinguish the front from the back! Quite the Bargain at only $18.

Got a new batch of XL’s in stock.

The AeroCraftsman Womens Shirt

A Womens Black V-neck shirt with the stylish AeroCraftsman script logo on the front. The smalls and mediums also feature larger Caudron/AeroCraftsman design on the back. (Don’t ask.) She’ll look great even if she’s with you! You could do a lot worse for only $18.

The Old AeroCraftsman Shirt

This is the one that started it all! No pocket. Large logo on back featuring the classic Corben Super Ace, small AeroCraftsman script logo on front. Very limited quantites. Available in Large only. When they’re gone, they’re gone! Possibly the best investment you’ll ever make, or the most expensive shop rag you’ll ever purchase. $18 while they last. Oop, there goes the last one. All sold out.

Hatz Data Plate

A nice brass data plate for your Hatz. Will work for any model, CB-1, Classic, Bantam. I needed one for my project and had to have an entire batch made. Only a few left and when they’re gone there won’t be any more. Not a money maker at only $45. Shipping Included on This One.

Only one left and I better hang onto it for a pattern. Sorry!

TravelAir Hubcaps

When making custom parts like the hubcaps for the Sky Siren TravelAir, it sometimes makes sense to make a few more than you need. That’s the case here. They are designed to be used with original 30×5 N3N type Bendix wheels, or with Fischer wheels of the same type. We had several extra set of hubcaps cast and machined and they’re now available here. If you’ve tried to have custom aluminum casting done, you know how expensive it is, so these hubcaps are really quite a bargain at $450 per pair. If you’re interested, please contact me directly.
