    Description
    My mission has changed otherwise I'd keep beautiful airplane. When I bought this in 2022 I sent it straight in for the glass panel instillation and I've only flown about 250 hours since. I've flown some local and a lot of cross country, even as far as Texas. 

With 6 seats and roughly 1500lb useful load this airplane is versatile and smooth flying. I've taken my family of 5 with adequate fuel for a two hour flight, no problem. I average TAS of 160kts and burn about 15.7 GPH at 10,000'. This really is an incredible airplane! 

Full disclosure the logs are missing before 1995. From what I can tell the airplane was repossessed or part of an estate where logs were withheld in 1995 which I believe to be the reason for missing logs. A proper assessment by IA was completed at that time and all logs are intact for the last 30 years.
