amen

The Cessna C177 on raffle in Trim is worth €50,000

really? so was the plane donated as 500 tickets at 100e is 50,000e so you wouldn;t be making money.

do you have a license to run the raffle ? I was checking you website before purchasing and couldn't see anything.

Is the plan new or second hand? Is there a full maintenace schedule and is it current? Is the plan flyable

TRIM FLYING CLUBS GREAT PLANE RAFFLE



The busy Co. Meath flying club is shedding one of its three club aircraft. The aircraft in question is a Cessna Cardinal 177 B registered EI POD. The club also operates 2 Cessna 172’s and are in the process of standardising the fleet hence the reason for POD’s departure from the Trim skies.



Given the current economic climate not much interest is expressed in this type of aircraft when put on the market, a steal at €47,000. Trim flying club have decided to raffle EI POD for a €100 per ticket limited to 500 tickets. The draw will take place in the Castle Arch Hotel on the 17th of March 2009 at 19.00..



The aircraft, which is a 1978 model, has served the club well in its 13 years of service as a training and touring aircraft. Its long-range tanks and variable pitch prop make it ideal for European trips. It has been used to convert pilots from fixed to semi complex aircraft operations. Its 180hp engine delivers enough thrust to operate safely from Trims 560m grass runways while still making the aircraft economical on local jaunts.



The engine has 615 hrs, the prop 130hrs from new and the TTAF is 4370, C of A from June ’08.



Raffle details can be found by visiting Trim flying clubs website at www.trimflyingclub.com There are 3 runner up prizes of a one hour session with instructor in the 737 simulator at Simtech valued at €300.00+ and the final prize is a 1 hour introductory flying lesson valued at €195.00.



All monies will be refunded if a minimum amount of tickets are not sold, a win win scenario in these troubled economic times.

Hi Amen,
Thanks for your questions.

Trim Flying Club make no money on this, except the cost of the aircraft.

- Do Trim Flying Club have a license to run the raffle ?

Trim Flying Club are not a registered charity, purchased tickets permit the ticket holder temporary membership of the Trim Flying Club supporters groups and in turn, this does not require a specific license.
This is approved by the Gardai.

- Is the plane new or second hand?

The aircraft is a second hand 1978 C177B model (which is not old for an aircraft)

- Is there a full maintenace schedule and is it current? Is the plan flyable

The aircraft is currently fully maintained, licensed and insured to fly.
The certificate of airworthiness is valid until June 2009 (Which we are currently looking to renew).

Hope this helps!
Regards,
Trim Flying Club

Khalil,Barname, its a pity you have to lower the tone over a spelling mistake. :pac:

Khalil's post was full of humour and sarcasm, hard to see through a Forum, but didn't warrant reporting his post. Trimflyingclub, you're being allowed to tout here, but bear in mind to normally do this, you would have to pay and advertise on adverts.ie

Fair play what an amazing prize to win. The other prizes were all pretty cool too. Were the Germans on holiday over here or are they members of the club?

trimflyingclub

Ticket was sold to the Germans via one of our members living in Hannover, Germany.
Most of the 500 tickets were sold, and demand was high for any outstanding tickets.

Other prizes were not bad indeed !!!!
