*Price Negotiable* This plane is very fast and responsive and fun to fly. It will cruse at 160 knots at 10,000 feet. This aircraft is open cock pit and easy to see the world as you fly. The engine and fuel system is not made for continuous inverted flight. It will do most aerobatics but try and keep positive G's.

Aircraft was recovered with stits and painted with aerothane in about 2005. New wheel struts were built by Steen and installed.

The power plant in a IO-470 Continual. The exhaust was replaced with a custom made stainless steel. The engine has new plug wires and spark plugs. The engine runs very well and pulling 260 HP. The electrical system has new solenoids and battery. Starts very easy because the engine is tuned very well.

The prop was replaced with a better two blade constant speed Hartzell. The blade is controlled from the cock pit control using engine oil hydraulics.

The pilot sits in the back while the passenger in the front. Behind the pilots head is a small compartment that can carry a small suitcase full of things. The pilot seat is not adjustable, but is made for a tall person. If you are short you will just need to add more cushions.

I do all of my own maintenance but still have the plane inspected by a second person for safety. The plane was inspected and signed airworthy and safe in August 2018. This will be good for a year.
