A 160HP/fixed pitch prop version of the A-1B sans flaps. It has the same fuselage and basic wing of the 03 A1-B (again, without flaps). Sure, it loses a little performance for takeoff and landing- if you need that we sell them too- but it also saves tens of thousands of dollar$ in purchase price, saves 100 lbs of weight compared to a typical 180HP A-1B, lowers fuel consumption, has a less expensive engine to overhaul and is within a couple mph for cruise speed and still comfortably gets into and out of a shorter runway than 98% of the rest of the S/E fleet. Built on the same line and with the same processes as the 180HP, it was a slightly de-optioned version with lighter seat cushions, a more basic interior (black plywood vs teak & holly floorboards as earlier Huskies had), no flaps/flap mechanism, the Christian Eagle fiberglass cowling and was VFR-Only certified on the TCDS. It still offers great performance and the outstanding build quality that Aviat is known for . N74HP offers a Custom Birkmeyer paint scheme with optional front and rear black plywood floorboards, rear seat heat and defrost, a full gyro package and a radio package that includes a Becker Comm, an L-3 Lynx ADS-B In/Out transponder with a pilot-selectable flat-screen display of wx, traffic or radar. There's also a Garmin 396 GPS hardwired into the aircraft's electrical system and a dual Stratus USB-A power outlet. It's a fun & sporty low-cost entry into the world of Husky ownership. Our customer had Aviat build this as a new aircraft to his specs,, then it went to the midwest where it's been ever since. Excellent condition, always hangared, no corrosion. Owned by 2 related parties since 2007, maintained to a very high level.

Custom Birkmeyer paint scheme with optional front and rear black plywood floorboards, rear seat heat and defrost, full gyro package and a radio package that includes a Becker Comm, L-3 Lynx 9000 transponder with a flat-screen display for ADS-B wx, traffic and radar. There’s also a Garmin 396 GPS hardwired into the aircraft’s electrical system and a dual Stratus USB-A power outlet for powering your handheld devices like a Stratus, iPhone or iPad. We built this as a new aircraft for the DFW based first owner, then it lived in the midwest until arriving in our hangar to be sold. In excellent condition and has always been hangared, no corrosion. Had a groundloop in 2007 with the wing & aileron being removed and sent to the factory for repair on the same jigs that built it originally. Flies straight and true, a beautiful aircraft.
