Merlin SSDR £22,990

I have decided to put my Merlin (G-CJTD) up for sale to fund my next aircraft. I purchased the Merlin as a kit in December 2016 and it had its first flight on the first of August 2017.
The Merlin is an all-metal high wing SSDR microlight, powered by a Rotax 582 Blue Top with a little over 100 hours on both engine and airframe. The engine has oil injection, and this gives a precise measure of oil thus eliminating pre-mixing and over oiling errors. The hours will increase as I am flying it as often as I can.
The Merlin is a very capable short-field aircraft and is located on a farm strip in Northumberland.
My Merlin is equipped with a full analogue instrument panel including a Trig radio and Trig transceiver.
The aircraft is easy to fly with impressive all-round visibility. The controls of the Merlin are ergonomically located and are well balanced and responsive. There are hydraulic disc brakes on the main wheels which are operated by a throttle and break quadrant that is easily reached by the pilots left hand. My Merlin cruises happily at 5000rpm and indicates 80/85mph. The average fuel burn is approximately 13 litres an hour and this should give 2.5 hours flying time with half an hour reserve. There are two wing tanks each holding 21 litres of fuel.
The American dealer Chip Erwin https://www.aeromarine-lsa.com/ has produced some very informative videos of the Merlin and are well worth watching to get an overall impression of the capabilities of this aircraft.
All relevant documents are up-to date.
As with everything the price can be negotiated, and I will consider all reasonable offers.
