The Texas Aircraft Colt is an amazing platform for inexpensive time-build or just to fly for fun. Cross country capable burning 5 gph of AVGAS or MOGAS (no STC needed!). If you know ROTAX engines, you know how reliable and low maintenance they are. And this is one has ONLY 155 hours since new. It has a 3-Blade Sterna Propeller custom designed for the Colt. This is a ground adjustable pitch propeller. The standard settings at 18 degrees gives a nice combination of climb (700 ft per min) with a 100 kts TAS cruise @ 75% power. Have flow in Texas summer at 11.5k ft with the above numbers. The Colt does it all if you're not in a rush and just want to enjoy the ride while the Dynon HDX Skyview Avionics suite does the rest. 2-axis autopilot and fully automated functions with VNAV, NAV, HDG, ALT and VS pre-select.
