your own scout, your own way

Shady Aviation has pulled off an impressive feat. We scoured the world (Facebook) and have acquired SEVEN 70's model Bellanca 8GCBC Scouts. While we originally planned to finish these our way and sell them to you, we thought of a better idea. This is your chance to get a high performance bush plane the way YOU want it for half the price of a factory new airplane! All of these planes have fresh overhauls on their Lycoming O360s. Here's how it works:

1. Contact us and say "Please please PLEASE I want my own Scout so bad I'd lick a white dog turd."

2. You pick your options. These can be anything LEGAL; paint scheme and color (Airtech Fabric Covering System), avionics, interior, we have new wood spar and factory ACA metal spar wings, prop choices, lighting systems, fuzzy dice, skylight, 8-track player, etc.

3. We tell you how much poorer you're going to be.

4. You start giving us money. Deposit or pay in full. can be determined at time of order.

5. Contain your excitement while we make your dreams come true. Don't worry, we'll send you pictures of the progress.

6. We call you to come get it and you give us all of that green stuff.

Its that simple. Do it.
