Avionics are basic IFR with two KX170-Bs, glide slope and Vor/Loc indicators, Garmin 155 GPS Moving Map, electric tachometer and EDM 700 engine monitor. It does not have ADSB.
The restoration took 7 years and the aircraft is as good, or better, than factory new. It was set up as a lightweight back country aircraft. There is NO float kit, and no rear seat installed. Corrosion proofed thru out.
In 2018 the aircraft had a rejected take off in cross wind conditions that lead to the right door post, the right side belly and the right horizontal leading edge to be damaged. There was not a nose over, no prop strike and no gound loop. This is the only known damage to the aircraft. It was taken down to the keel, inspected, repaired where needed, up graded and restored to its current beautiful condition. The landing gear box was undamaged but out of thoroughness it was removed, inspected, and beefed up with the heavy duty P-Ponk kit. The owner spent over $325,000 on the restoration and is asking $249,900. A very good deal on near perfect airplane.
