Detailed Description

This is a great opportunity for someone who is looking for a starter airplane. I know this engine is just above TBO and as such the asking price reflects that. Per Lycoming service instruction No.1009BF, this airplane is considered a frequent flyer and has been maintained per Lycoming standards and may allow for operations up to 400 hours over TBO.
