The aircraft just had an annual and is in strong mechanical condition with great compressions, clean borescope, and a history of frequent oil changes. Blackstone oil analysis trend has been excellent, with prior report noting: “Wear trends look great for this Lycoming… Just keep doing what you’re doing — it’s clearly working!”
Upgrading to an unlimited aerobatic airplane. May consider trade toward a Gamebird (or similar).
Buyer to verify all details, times, equipment, and specifications to their satisfaction. Aircraft is subject to prior sale and/or removal from market without notice.
