This is the coveted 'best' of the tail draggers of the Cruisemaster airframe line, the Bellanca 230
Cruisemaster. Loaded with tons of horsepower and a new design of aerodynamic cowling, the
230 was the Bellanca to have. It lasted only a short while as it was then replaced by the
Bellanca 260 Downer and was converted to a tri-cycle landing gear. This model is highly sought
after today and brings a good price to obtain one.
