Summary
Here’s a classic 1968 310N that is need of a Right engine overhaul but is ferriable. The donor of this 310 owned it for over 30 years. For various personal reasons, it has been dormant for the last 5 years. We had it ferried for its Annual Inspection which was just completed. It has 3,621TT, the engines are 1377/1077 SMOH and the Hartzell 3 blade props have only 242 since new. The avionics have been upgraded with a Garmin 530W and 345 ADS-B transponder to provide traffic and weather. Please see the Annual Inspection discrepancy details and photos. This 310 is being sold “As Is” from KSET (just north of KSTL). Once the right engine is overhauled, this would be a great plane for building you twin engine time, or being your family get away machine! A purchase from Wings of Hope with help fund our free patient transportation in both the US and our international partners.
