- Super clean Geronimo with great avionics.
- With the VG 's , 180hp and Geronimo mods, it would make a great trainer or a relatively safe light twin due to the low VMC and good climb ability on one engine.
- A very nice 180 HP Geronimo with most mods. Excellent paint (9+), great glass, and a nice interior (8) with a modern panel.
- Most Geronimo mods were done by Seguin aviation, well known as the Geronimo mod center, and were done in the eighties.
- Mods included extended nose, all landing gear doors, square tail, gap seals, one piece windshield , alternators and more.
- At a later time streamlined fiberglass engine cowlings, a one piece sloped windshield, also a VG kit, an extended rear baggage compartment and Hoener wingtips.
- Holds 108 Gallons of fuel, 72 in mains, and 36 in outboard aux.
- Has a backup electric Hydraulic system for gears and flaps.
- Avionics were updated later, and include an Aspen EFIS, Garmin 430W, a King KX155 and a Stratus TX.
- Reason for selling is that it does not have enough space for my survey cameras, I am using an Aztec, which will accommodate my equipment. I am very flexible on price.
