Description
To my knowledge it is the only STC'd 180HP Grumman AA1-B ever made. I cannot begin to tell you how much fun it is to fly. Climbs at our 1000 fpm. Cruises at 160MPH.
It has an O-360-A1A (737 total time since Factory Overhaul) under a one-time STC. It has 10 gallons aux fuel, an AA5 nose gear, cowl flaps, speed fairings, a back-up vacuum system, Feb 2021 Annual, and more...
I cruise at 135 kts burning about 8 gph (or 140 kts @ 9 gph). It climbs like a bat out of hell and has a service ceiling of 21,000 feet! I am typically at pattern altitude well before the end of the runway! Brand new Bruce's cover included. ADS-B compliant. LED landing and position lights. New main tires. Complete logs. Based at Henderson, NV (KHND).
