Description
This meticulously maintained aerobatic aircraft has been spared no expense. Since acquiring the aircraft in 2012, it has undergone a thorough nose-to-tail transformation which includes safety upgrades, performance modifications, maintenance accessibility enhancements, and avionics upgrades that sets this speedster apart from others in its class. It is fully IFR capable and is a breeze to fly in IFR conditions using the integrated TruTrak EFIS and autopilot system, GNS 430W COM/NAV, and WiFi enabled weather (FIS-B/NEXRAD) data displayed on your mobile device.
When evaluating the price, consider what this aircraft offers that others do not:
•Safety upgrades comparable with many military aircraft today
•Certified to perform aerobatics
•MT composite 3-bladed propeller
•Electric Speed Brake
•Great avionics package for VFR or IFR operations
•Mid-time engine with low oil consumption and great compressions
•Oil history samples from Blackstone Labs – no adverse findings
•Meticulous record keeping of repairs and modifications since 2012
