Additional Remarks
- Steel CrMo4130 airframe, insulated fuel and oil tubes, flame-retardant bulkhead. The aircraft is made of Avional 2017 T4 and 2024 T3 aluminum, ailerons and elevator are made of 6061 T6 aluminum with self-lubricating bearing pivots and spherical head terminals; structural joints are entirely riveted and glued; for non-structural joints, pull rivets were used. All welds are TIG type. Two explosion-proof tanks positioned behind the spar for a total of 81L.
- Oversized oil radiator, electric trim on the stabilizer, cabin heating, alcantara seats, tinted windows.
- Aircraft kept in excellent condition, as I am an aeronautical engineer myself; ribs and hinges treated with professional protective and anticorrosive oil.
- Original glossy white paint with blue gradient motifs.
- In the cockpit:
- – 12V charger socket
- – Adjustable four-point safety belts
- – Central steel console with throttle and brakes
- – Dual controls
- Also available (but not installed) are main wheel boots and a set of Vortex Generators.
- Propeller configured with a short pitch for takeoffs in less than 250m. Configured with a longer pitch, the aircraft flies at speeds of 200/210 km/h (Vne 240 km/h), thanks to the asymmetric biconvex wing profile with upward-facing winglets. Due to high longitudinal stability, the aircraft allows long periods of hands-free flight.
- Selling due to job relocation abroad. Private hangar space available in the Viareggio/Forte dei Marmi area (where it is available for viewing).
