N9329L is a beautifully maintained Yankee that combines the AA-1's famously sporty, nimble handling with a serious performance and avionics upgrade - making it one of the most capable, fun-to-fly Yankees on the market today. Performance Upgrade This airplane has been upgraded with a Lycoming O-320, transforming it into a genuinely quick, confident performer. Expect climb rates over 1,000 fpm and a gross weight bumped to 1,560 lbs - giving you real useful load and margin that the factory AA-1A never had. Fuel burn is a lean and efficient ~8 GPH, so you get the extra power without giving up the AA-1's reputation for economical flying.

Everything you need for serious IFR cross-country work or instrument training, in a package that's still light, nimble, and fun to hand-fly. The AA-1A is built around a bonded, riveted aluminum structure and that signature bubble canopy that gives you visibility unlike almost anything else in general aviation - climb, descend, and turn, and you can see the world around you. Controls are sporty, responsive, and precise, making every flight feel like more than just point-A-to-point-B. With the added horsepower, this AA-1A is no longer just fun - it's genuinely capable, whether you're building time, working on your instrument rating, or just looking for an economical airplane that doesn't feel like a rental. Interior Clean interior throughout, canopy sun shade, and accessories included At just $89,900, this AA-1A offers an exceptional opportunity to get into a sporty, economical airplane without taking on the cost of the major upgrades typically associated with bringing an older AA-1A up to modern standards. This particular AA-1A stands out from the used-Grumman crowd low time airframe, low time engine, newer paint, newer interior, upgraded panel and documented, well-maintained history. Many AA-1As on the market still have their original powerplants and dated avionics - this one has already had the expensive upgrades done for you. For $89,900, you're getting a capable, efficient airplane that's ready to fly and offers tremendous value for the money. Overall this is a great airplane. With light control forces, a sliding canopy that can be locked open in flight, and upgraded horsepower from stock, it feels like a little fighter. Combined with a nice panel for VFR and IFR training, this airplane makes for an economical time builder and a blast of a weekend warrior. There's a reason people talk about the Grumman Grin! Perfect for flight training, instrument time building, economical cross-country flying, or a pilot who wants a sporty, honest-handling airplane that rewards good stick-and-rudder skills.
