I have flown this airplane over 400 hours since I purchased it in 2015. It is a great basic IFR platform and navigates well with autopilot and GPS. I have spent many hours getting the paint and interior to show as well as it does. It has great ramp appeal.
This is a used airplane, and I encourage any prospective buyer to take a look. It is by no means a cream puff, but a great cross country work horse. Useful load 975lbs!

Feel free to contact me at any time or to schedule a visit. Located at shafer field (3K6)

Thanks,
Justin
