Description

Detailed Description 1981 Cessna 172RG purchased from a flight school in Kansas that used it for instrument training. We used plane to get a few rating and now time to pass it on. It fly's great and had compliments from DPE's on how nice it flies. I flight plan at 130 kts. Burns a quart of oil in 10-12 hours. Engine is still very strong and has good compression numbers. Plane will have fresh annual for new owner and fresh 91:411 and 413 done. In 2014 it had a gear up landing and was repaired by a repair station. Plane has GNS530W, G5's, KX155 / glide slope, GTX345 ADSB in/out, 300A auto pilot, shadin fuel flow, P1000 digital tach, instrument ring lights, PAI-700 vertical Compass, 4 place intercom, door struts and engine pre heat. One of the very last and best Cessna 172RG Cutlasses ever built, with the coveted factory 62-gallon wet wings (no bladders), 28v electrical system, factory corrosion-proofing and reinforced landing gear.
