Description
Mid-life engine, ceconite control surfaces, judged to be one of the nicest flying Nanchangs in the country (by someone who has flown them all). VHF, TXP, new ADSB, ELT, smoke system. Long history of activity within NZ, located at Omaka (since 1995). The Nanchang will give you a 135 knot cruise on 60 litres an hour. You can enjoy graceful aerobatics all day long, get into some exhilarating bridge strafing out in the back blocks or take your 'favourite other' for a weekend away, with plenty of baggage space for you both! It is a well built, strong, easy to maintain, gift to aviation and the best lead-in warbird money can buy. To be sold with a fresh annual.

About the Nanchang CJ-6A
The Nanchang CJ-6A is a two-seat, single-engine military trainer originally built in China as a primary trainer for the Peoples Liberation Army Air Force. Powered by a Housai HS6A radial engine burning approximately 18 gallons per hour, the CJ-6A offers aerobatic capability and the thrill of military-style flying at affordable prices.
Variable hourly costs average around $200, with annual fixed costs near $20,000. The CJ-6A appeals to aerobatic pilots, warbird enthusiasts, and recreational flyers who want military trainer performance and character at a fraction of the cost of Western warbirds like the T-6 Texan.
Produced 1971.
