Handheld radio & portable 2 place intercom that works great. Other equipment is original or equivalent to original.

Remarks

An absolute pleasure to fly airplane. I bought the plane from an older gentlemen that had it as his "baby". I planned to build tailwheel time in the plane and just don't fly it as much as I had planned. Feel free to reach out with any questions about the aircraft. Thanks!
