Description

182 knots. 14.6gph. Faster than a Cirrus, more efficient than a Bonanza, and out climbs a Mooney. N404CB Express CT; one of the nicest examples built. Fully IFR aircraft. Garmin G3X. GFC Autopilot. Lycoming 540. 1,211lbs useful load. 92 gallons fuel. What else could you possibly need for fast cross countries? Plane was built by Bill and John Copeland who guided many builders in their construction and then took the best of what they learned and put it into this plane. All logs available. Front gear had collapsed, resulting in a prop strike while idling (03/2018). The entire top end was overhauled per lycoming manuals for a prop strike service. A complete parts list of replacement is logged. Aircraft now has a new nose gear that is redesigned to prevent a future collapse. Recent November 2025 inspection.
