Summary
Here’s your chance to own a low-time C-172 that performs better than a brand-new 2021 model!! With the Air Planes 180HP upgrade, and Flint Aero auxiliary fuel tanks, this C-172 will fly farther (800+ sm) and has a useful load of 964 lbs! This donor owned the 172 for the past 46 years and was meticulous in its maintenance. He has had 25 mods/upgrades performed on the plane during his ownership. He has documented each of these installations with detailed hand-drawn diagrams/schematics explaining what was done and how exactly how the wiring was modified. All these documents are organized in 4 binders with a summary table of contents to locate the information. I’ve never seen a plane with this much detailed info. It’s obvious the donor lovingly cared for this plane! The 172 has only 3,066 TT and 1,111 SMOH. The zero-time engine, new prop, speed fairing and aux fuel tanks were added in 1992. The avionics were updated in 2017 with the Garmin 650 and ADS-B 345 Transponder. The paint and interior are in good condition (I rate them both a “7”). The annual inspection was done this year and is good until May 2022.
