1979 Bellanca Super Decathlon

Overview
Priced at $119,000, this 1979 Bellanca Super Decathlon (S/N: 540-79) is a meticulously maintained gem with 2,936 hours total time and a captivating story. For over 30 years, its second owner has cherished this aircraft, always hangaring it in Montana with complete logbooks and no damage history. Powered by a Lycoming AEIO-360-A1B 180hp engine-stronger than the standard 150 hp found in many Decathlons-- this plane delivers exceptional aerobatic and cruising performance, with only 858 hours since an expert Ly-Con overhaul. It's turn-key and ready for its next adventure!

Crafted by Bellanca before later manufacturer changes, this N5041U stands out with a custom red mohair velvet interior and hand-sewn star embroidery on the backseat, designed to match the vibrant exterior paint. Equipped with a KX 170B NAV/COM, VOR, KT-76A transponder, and blind encoder, it's primed for aerobatic thrills or cross-country flights. Last annual completed October 2024. Located in Montana, but available to all, this aircraft blends power, unique style, and a history of devoted care-a rare find for its next owner.
