Comments
Construction completed in 2004, Kit number 2320, & the Special C of A issued on 8-12-2004. The airframe & Engine now have 520 hrs TTSN.

When completed, testing indicated 200HP @ 2700 RPM when test run. When re-installed, the engine, was fitted with new Electronic P-Mag Ignitions. A new Catto composite FP 68" dia. X 76" Prop. was installed Along with all new hoses, a new engine driven fuel pump and Gascolator cooling shroud with cooling blast tube were installed. Vac pump & hoses have been removed. On the panel the original vac driven 3" AH & DG were replaced with new RC Allen TSO'd Digital Attitude ( RCA2610 ) & DDI ( RCA 1510-3 ) units. A new Flight Data FC10 fuel computer was also installed. The upgrade exercise in 2018 with engine instruments & prop, incurred over $30K expenses. The aircraft was re-weighed on 5-12-2018, with the new empty weight being 463 Kg. Electric flaps and manual elevator trim. New brake pads last 100 hrly, and new MR due 14-04-22. My only reason for selling is to get into an RV8. All reasonable offers will be considered.
