    Description
    Express CT; Nicest and fastest Express around This is a beautifully build, fully IFR aircraft that I've been using for my weekly commute vehicle for the past 7 years. Built by Bill and John Copeland, the workmanship is outstanding and the plane is a pleasure to fly. I get 180+ kts cruise at 12,500 feet on 12.5 gallons per hour. Plane holds 92 gallons, and has a useful load of about 1,300 pounds, which means you can actually take four people, bags, and fuel and go a long way. Aircraft was recently gone through from nose to tail by the factory in Toledo, WA. Will be hard to find a nicer plane...

    Airframe

    Airframe Notes
    Probably the nicest Express every built, and certainly the fastest. Beautifully built, composite airframe with gorgeous paint and attention to detail. 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

    New, 3-blade Scimitar Hartzell propellor, 100 TTSN. Original prop was sent in for overhaul at 1,000 hours and shop found some components were out of tolerance so decided to put on a brand new, latest generation prop. It works great!
