Description
Mission has changed and the plane is for sale. This is one of the most attractive airplanes for both looks and efficiency. I purchased it 2 years ago to work on my IFR and with the avionics it fully integrates to your iPad, follows the flight plan and IFR procedures on its own. With the added landing height system you have added safety of altitude callouts on final as well as gear warning. Annual completed 5/9/26 and included new tires/tubes, AD compliance, all new sparkplugs and a NEW Electroair push-to-start electronic ignition system (really saves on those horrible hot starts). Interior is older but in great condition and the paint job brings great ramp appeal (even had an offer to buy via radio on a taxiway once). IFR 24 month completed 5/2026. This plane is turn-key and ready to go. All logs and records available and no history of gear up landings!
