Model & Market Context
This airframe carries the U.S. civil registration N81105 and was built in 1946 as serial number 235 by the Funk Aircraft Company. The aircraft is a single example of the Funk B85C (Model B-85-C Bee) lineage and retains its original manufacturing identity in available records. Ownership timeline and operator/home base details are not published in the supplied data; similarly, specific registry actions and contemporary valuation or condition highlights are not published. Known technical provenance centers on its original factory configuration and installed powerplant.
The airframe is configured as a two-seat, single-engine fixed-wing airplane suitable for pilot-and-passenger missions; detailed cabin layout descriptions and avionics fit are not published. With a cruise speed of 87 kts and a ferry/operational range of 304 nm, typical mission profiles for this specific aircraft would include short cross-country flights, local instructional hops, and recreational flying within regional boundaries. The operator base for this individual registration is not published, and there are no supplied notes on unique amenities. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would logically focus on continued airworthiness of the original Continental C85-12 installation and aging airframe systems, but specific logbook entries and condition reports are not published.
The Funk B85C (Model B-85-C Bee) occupies a light, two-seat single-engine category characterized by modest cruise performance (87 kts) and modest range (304 nm), fitting a niche of vintage recreational and utility use rather than commercial transport. Competing models in the postwar era and in vintage-aviation markets are other small light piston singles that emphasize simplicity and low operating cost. Buyer demand for preserved, airworthy examples typically hinges on originality, engine condition, and documented maintenance history; resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would therefore focus on the integrity of serial 235 and the serviceability of the Continental C85-12 powerplant.
