ADDITIONAL INFORMATION / INCIDENT HISTORY
This aircraft is extremely appealing due to the Avidyne Avionics Upgrade and LoPresti Modifications! The aircraft features the desirable LoPresti Howl Cowl, Wing Zip Tips Lighting System, Main Gear Spats, Flap Hinge Fairings, and Multiple Gaps Seals. The cost of installing the LoPresti Modifications most likely exceeded $50,000 back in the day. An additional investment of $38,000 in Avionics is another positive for this aircraft. The current owner upgraded the Flight Deck with the desirable Avidyne Platform Featuring a IFD540 GPS Navigator, Avidyne Audo Panel, Avidyne Transponder, and ADS-B “IN” and “OUT” Solutions. The Avidyne Flight Deck is complimented with an Altitude Autopilot and Slaved HSI System.
The aircraft is VALUE PRICED due to inactivity and incident history. The aircraft was inactive most of the time between October 19, 2017, through September 3, 2025. The aircraft flew only 39.5 hours during this time period. Due to the age of the engine, IRAN history, and limited utilization, it is recommended that next owner of this aircraft coordinate a fresh engine overhaul immediately.
Hail Damage History - The aircraft received hail damage in 2014. The affected Flight Controls were reskinned and painted in 2015. Some hail marks are still present on the main surfaces of the aircraft.
Gear-Up Landing History - The aircraft had a gear up landing in July of 2007. The airframe repairs and engine tear down inspection were completed in January of 2008. The aircraft was repaired a second time along with a second IRAN in May 2008 what appears to be a second gear-up landing just 3.1 hours later. A New 3-Blade Propeller was also installed.
Nose Gear Collapse History – 1980 and 1991. See airframe logs for details.
Propeller History - A new Propeller was installed in 2008 with no record of any subsequent overhaul / repairs being performed. Hartzell recommends that propellers be overhauled every 6-Years. The next owner should have the propeller overhauled since the propeller has been in service for 18 years.
Specifications are Subject to Verification upon the Buyer’s Inspection of the Aircraft. Optional aircraft transition flight training solutions are available. We accept trades and offer a variety of low fixed rate interest rate financing solutions up to 20 years.
