    Description
    Exceptionally clean, well-maintained 1993 Super Decathlon with low-time, cool-running AEIO-360 and a meticulous ownership pedigree. This aircraft has lived its life in the hands of detail-oriented owners who prioritize engine health, proper storage in a dry climate, and consistent flight activity. Hangared, flown regularly, complete logs, and absolutely no “stories.” A very strong example of a 1990s Super D—rare to find one this straight, clean, and mechanically tight. Total Time Airframe: 2,373 hrs Engine: 601 hrs SMOH (factory reman) Prop: 2,121 hrs Location: Glendale Municipal Airport (KGEU), Arizona Highlights & Upgrades ADS-B Out - uAvionix skyBeacon Dynon D3 with synthetic vision Super-bright LED landing light Airwolf remote oil-filter adapter (makes oil changes quick and clean) Engine oil heater plug-in (ideal for winter ops and engine longevity) Rear fuselage handles for safer, easier ground handling Always hangared; flown regularly with excellent operating temps CHTs consistently below 350°F — this is a cool-running, low-stress engine Interior & Exterior Interior is clean and well-cared-for with only a minor vinyl repair at one shoulder-harness point. Exterior fabric and paint present very well; a couple of small belly seams could use a touch of Super-Seal adhesive but nothing structural. Cosmetics and fabric are in “pride of ownership” condition overall. ** Why This Super Decathlon Is Different ** This is not a tired, high-time, run-hard aerobatic trainer. It has been privately owned, gently operated, and maintained by owners who obsess over engine care. Oil analysis, proper warm-up routines, CamGuard, W-100 Plus, and temperature discipline have resulted in a remarkably clean-running Lycoming. Compression, temps, and smoothness all reflect a healthy engine with a long future ahead. If you’ve been searching for a clean, honest, low-drama Super D with a factory-reman engine, complete logs, modern ADS-B capability, and strong cosmetic condition, this aircraft stands out. It is ready to fly today and needs nothing major. Contact: Karl Gashler Glendale, AZ (KGEU)
