1965 Piper Colt
Single Engine Piston
Aircraft Details
Seller reportedDescription
For sale, a beautiful Piper PA-22 Colt with modern avionics and high capability. This example benefits from having modern LED lighting inside and out, making it ideal for both VFR day and night flying. To complement this package, a modern uAvionix AV-30 is fitted and Trig transceiver and transponder units, allowing for safe, simple flying. G-CBEI also benefits from the additional reserve tank in the right wing, drastically improving range, bringing it up to 540 nm with 6 hours endurance. It isn’t quick, however more than makes up for the slow flight in character. This 1961 Piper has a cruise speed of 90kts, assisted by the smooth Lycoming O-235-C1B powerplant. The airframe currently has 7,120:45 hours (may go up with use), with the engine only having 844 hours, which makes this ideal for hour building. With this airframe being restored in 2003, there isn’t really any way of telling this aircraft’s hours. As well as the aircraft, there are spare parts available with it, depending on your preference (included in price). If you’re keen on building hours, or just an enthusiast, this is the aircraft for you. Priced for a quick sale, unfortunately cannot keep two aircraft, otherwise would not want to let go of it. £30,000 Ono This site requires javascript to function.
