Maintenance:

Consistently Lake Central maintained. No expense spared. If it needs it, it gets it!

CRITICAL SAFETY NOTE: The Aileron Torque Tubes on C-GIUL have been replaced with LCAS PMA Heavy Duty, Anti-Corrosion Coated Torque Tubes. New Torque Tube Boots were also installed using new hardware and everything was waterproofed.

BACKGROUND: While there is provision in the Lake Maintenance Manual for a 500 Hour Inspection on these tubes, we are getting far too many airplanes in for service that clearly have never been inspected. We are finding original factory tubes that are completely rotten with corrosion. We have plenty of samples of removed tubes to show you. There is no strength left in these tubes and a sudden jar from rough air or rough water could snap them off.

We can not state strongly enough that these Torque Tubes MUST be inspected thoroughly on a regular basis, and much more often than the 500 Hours set out in the Maintenance Manual. If an Aileron Torque Tube fails in flight, control of the aircraft will be lost with potentially fatal consequences. Don’t take a chance, be sure yours are inspected and replaced as required. Don’t purchase a Lake Aircraft that does not have clear and supporting proof that these inspections have been completed and no corrosion was found. Otherwise, don’t even get in that airplane until those Aileron Torque Tubes are replaced!

Included:

1) LCAS Engine Cover

2) LCAS Canopy Cover

3) 2 X Aviation Life Vests with Pressure Autofill

4) Compact Paddles

History:

This Buccaneer has been a long-time favourite at Lake Central, as has its Owner, who is very much a hands-on pilot who wants to know his aircraft inside and out! It is a pretty Buccaneer that has always been well kept and gently flown. IUL has always been kept in a private, heated hangar where it is regularly cleaned and polished to look its best!

IUL is a serious long-range travelling aircraft, having gone on some exciting journeys into the backcountry of Northern Canada. She awaits her next assignment with you at the controls!

This Buccaneer has had a great life and the best of ongoing maintenance. This is a No Excuses airplane.

If you are serious about enjoying the Lake Lifestyle and seeing the world from your own Lake Buccaneer, C-GIUL is simply as good and solid as they come.

Great condition, clean, tight, very well-maintained Buccaneers like this are in extremely short supply. Don’t hesitate or you will regret it!
