Description
Garmin Touchscreen and new panel 2021 (G600Txi + GTN750Xi), RSTOL, No-gear-doors STC, Victor Black Engine, and a complete refurb in 2008, plus almost every desirable mod a discerning 210 owner would want to have the most safe 210 out there. Starting from being a "show plane" featured in Flying Magazine ( N48VA has been modernized yet again with a new panel and extensive upgrades in the last 4 years, including almost all the "mods" that a discerning T210 owner would want. What makes this plane really special is the Robertson STOL kit with drooping ailerons and a wing leading edge cuff, plus a 2021 Garmin touchscreen glass panel. Fly at 170+ knots in the flight levels, touch down at 46 knots with a huge margin of safety, and take-off and climb with 300+ horses of turbocharged power. All with a state-of-the-art panel that makes IFR easy and provides terrific situational awareness. Truly Unique.
