Controls, switches, and instrumentation areas are in good condition, reflecting consistent use and care rather than sitting idle. The layout remains practical and pilot-friendly, making it comfortable for both training and cross-country flying. All interior components are intact and serviceable, with no immediate need for refurbishment. |

Exterior The exterior presents well with a straight airframe and clean lines. Paint is in good condition overall, showing typical wear for its age but still holding a solid appearance on the ramp. Upgraded with full LED lighting (nav, strobe, beacon), improving visibility and reducing maintenance compared to older systems. Control surfaces and skin are in good condition with no visible issues. This is not a project aircraft. It’s a clean, presentable airplane you can fly as-is, with the option to upgrade cosmetics over time if desired. |
