UL-430 £15,000

This aircraft is a bargain!

Fast, and fun to fly.
Always hangared, the aircraft is based near Swindon, at Membury.
An all weather airfield, with two tarmac runways, and three grass runways. Ideal Hangarage. Would suit a local syndicate?

Jabiru UL430 - PFA 274A-13356 - October 1999.
Completed by ST Aviation.
Superb Murray Flint paintwork.
Full Height Rudder conversion by Skycraft in 2012.
Complete with Lighter Spec brake overhaul (discs, pads and callipers)
Windscreen surround repaired/renovated by Targett in 2023 (a common issue, at great cost!)
Airframe currently has 947hrs.

Engine replaced at aircraft 933hrs with overhauled engine from Dave Almey at Skycraft.
Engine No 22A3446, at just 240 hrs.
Hercules 58x38 prop fitted at aircraft 925hrs.
Noticeable improvement on the Jab prop.
Dual power electric ice-away carburetor heater fitted for carefree flying.
Engine currently at just 252hrs, after 5hr service with oil and filter change, etc.

Cruise at 90knt with usual Jabiru economy of 13-14lts/hr.
Tank lining restricts fuel to Avgas.
All of the enquiries so far have been fixated on this issue.
It's a far superior fuel, with none of the issues with E10, such as water absorption, ignition ping, restriction to 6,000 ft, and rubber hardening.
I keep several screw top Jerry cans of Avgas at the airfield, to guarantee a flight.
A new tank would enable conversion to mogas. I'm told that they are available at approx. £750.

Usual basic instrumentation and kit
Panel Radio:- Icom IC-A220T 8.33
Panel Transponder:- Garmin GTX320 (Charlie)
Strobes top and bottom for good visual conspicuity.
