Fly one of the best-kept secrets in general aviation. The Navion Rangemaster. Cruise for 8 hours at 150 knots on 13.5 GPH in an airplane that is the little brother to the famous P-51 Mustang. With 4-5 passenger seating and a panel for IFR flying, you will not find a more comfortable, economical cross country machine that can also double as a short field back country airplane. Navions are known to be built like a tank, which enable it to provide a smooth ride during those hot summer turbulent days. Specifications: · Normal Cruise 150 Knots at 13.5 GPH · 108 gallons fuel · 8 hours endurance at 150 knot cruise · Max weight 3315 lbs · Empty weight 2062 lbs · 1253 lbs useful load · 605 lbs with full fuel · 4-5 seat configuration · Low maintenance cost · Easy access throughout the plane for ease of maintenance · 1 quart of oil consumption per 25 hours of operation Dubbed the "poor man's P-51," the Navion's all-metal construction and heavy-duty components easily bring "warbird" to mind. The Rangemaster is truly a hidden jewel in general aviation. This 5 place luxury cruiser will stay aloft for 1200 nautical miles or 8 hours while cruising at 150 knots sipping 13.3 gph. To those who are fortunate enough to own and fly them, Navions are arguably the best-handling and most comfortable retractable singles ever built. So much so that Bonanza owner's, who fly very good airplanes in their own right, have been known to walk away after a Navion flight muttering. " At least mine goes fast." Walking toward a Navion, one is first struck by the height of the airplane. The wing hits a person at mid-chest level. One striking feature is the length of the landing gear legs and the resultant propeller clearance from the ground. The beefy gear struts absorb some impressive shocks on landing, a legacy of a desire to be able to alight almost anywhere, and perhaps to convince skeptics that a nosewheel airplane was suitable for unimproved fields. Instead of the Mustang's laminar-flow airfoil, the Navion has a high-lift, high-drag wing with significant camber on the underside. The combination of the specialized wing and flaps resulted in a nearly legendary short and rough field ability. It also created a lamentable cruise speed of 150 knots using the Continental IO-520 285 HP engine. This is a phenomenal aircraft! N2446T features a desirable list of avionics which include King Digital KX 155, Garmin IFR GPS/Comm, DME, Century II autopilot, Garmin transponder, and a JPI engine analyzer with fuel totalizer. In addition, the aircraft has the desirable Continental IO-520 Engine with speed modifications and gross weight increase kit.
