A 1/8th group share has become available in a very well maintained Reims built Cessna 172. It is an easy transition from a club C150 or C152. The aircraft is hangered at Shoreham where it conveniently situated for easy access right next to the car park.
She has two brand new 8.33 VHF radios, is fully IMC equipped, and also includes a Bendix King colour GPS for safe airspace navigation. She has moderately low engine hours as the original engine was changed in May 2010 for a factory zero hours unit. This aircraft is more like a C182 Skylane than a standard 172 having the powerful Rolls-Royce 210hp fuel injected Continental engine (No carb heat operation required!) and with the short three bladed variable pitch prop and 40 degree Fowler flaps, she has great short field performance for farm strip flying. She can lift four 85kg adults plus baggage and carry that on a six hour endurance flight which makes her the perfect utility vehicle for safe and secure group touring. In summary, stacks of power and great performance! (I've flown her to Italy & South of France - no problems)
The lovely aircraft has been regularly and professionally serviced at Shoreham.
