Description

Detailed Description This is a rare opportunity to own a very late model 1969 Piper PA-30 C Twin Comanche (S/N: 30-1917) featuring counter-rotating props, very low airframe hours, and J.L. Osborn Tip Tanks. A true cross-country (and cross-ocean!) aircraft with complete logs, AD compliance, and extensive documentation. Performance & Efficiency Combined The PA-30 is known for its aerodynamic design and efficient cruising-and this particular aircraft takes it even further with almost every Knots2U speed mod available. It's a "going places" machine, having already crossed the Atlantic 4 times without ever needing to dip into the main tanks-thanks to the generous fuel configuration MISC Altimeter 1: United Instruments Inc, PN: 5934P-3 Altimeter 2: EDO-AIRE, PN: 32281-8 Digital Fuel Flow indicator: Shadin Digiflo L, PN: 910532T Engine Analyzer: Insight Gemini 1200, PN: 1200-001 Voltage regulators: Zeftronics PN: R15VON, Specifications Subject to Verification Upon Inspection Airframe Total Time: 2,856.2, Serial Number: 30-1917, Empty Weight: 2,592 lb, Useful Load: 1,158.
