I bought this Wizard just recently but have decided to focus on the MiniMAX I have under construction, so the Wizard is for sale.
Currently the KT100 Yamaha engine is at Comet Kart Sales in Greenfield Indiana. Unless something really bad pops up during the freshening I expect the bill to be in the $400 - $600 range. If a sale is made in time, the engine work could either be halted or customized by the buyer.
About the basic airframe.....the sails are useable but will need some "sail tape" repairs of hangar rash to the leading edge to prevent further tearing. There is a 2nd set of wings with sails in about the same condition as the sails in the photos, although the colors are different. There is a 2nd Yamaha KT100 engine, engine mount and keel tube included. I installed new engine mount "bushings" and re-assembled the keel tube to mount the engine underneath the wing instead of on top. A previous Wizard owner said that makes it a bit more stable. The prop is included and has been refinished but final balance might need to be done. I have already bought new AN bolts and nuts to replace the old bolts. I'm pretty sure that I get about 80% or more of them on the list when I ordered them, and they would be included. I have begun to clean up some of the aluminum tubing. I am firm at $1400 for the basic package plus the bill at Comet Kart Sales if the engine freshening gets completed.
I'm in Southeast Missouri but if a buyer is interested I would bring everything to Comet Kart Sales in Greenfield, IN (just East of Indy) so the engine, airframe and all extra parts could be picked up in a single trip.
If you have questions or if the pricing structure I've described is confusing please call.
