N8686N is everything a pilot could want in an airplane. For starters, it passes the eye test. The 2006 paint and interior are in excellent condition, rating at least an 8 out of 10. Only 1 owner for the last 11 years, and it shows. Meticulous maintenance and lots of care have gone into this airplane. Speed mods? Yep. Equipped with the all the possible Knots2U performance modifications (see specs for full description of Knots2U kits). Efficiency? Check. The Western Skyways Lycoming IO-540 is very happy lean of peak, averaging 12-13 gallons per hour while cruising at 130 KTAS. Rich of peak, cruise at 18 gallons per hour and 140 KTAS. With 82 gallons usable fuel available, and a 1468 pound useful load, you can take the whole family and all your bags and go places. Modern avionics? Affirmative. Equipped with an IFR Aspen E5 (GPSS tied to the Century IIIC Autopilot; advanced unlocks of OAT, True Airspeed, Winds, and GPS annunciations), a Garmin GTN 650, and a PMA 8000BT Audio Panel. The Garmin GTX 330-ES covers the ADS-B out requirement, while the Bendix King KLR-10 AOA indicator adds an extra element of safety. The XM weather and XM music are supplied by the panel mounted Garmin Aera 560 GPS unit. Numerous other features and upgrades are listed in the specs below. With only 400 hours since the engine and prop were overhauled, plus Savvy maintenance tracking, N8686N’s low time engine bodes well for the next happy owner.
