PROPELLER — RECENT INVESTMENT
Hartzell 3-blade scimitar Top Prop (PHC-G3YF-1RF) with only 205 hours SNEW. This STC'd conversion is worth ~$13,000 in kit cost alone and delivers noticeably better climb performance (~8.5% over the original two-blade) and a smoother cabin. Essentially a like-new prop on the nose.

COSMETICS — HONEST ASSESSMENT
Exterior paint
Original 1970s-era cream with brown and gold striping. Presentable overall but showing its age — some chips at wing strut fairings and general oxidation. Would benefit from a repaint at some point but flies proudly as-is.
Interior
Tan corduroy seats (both front pair and rear bench) are in surprisingly clean condition. Door jambs, sidewall trim near the doors, floor carpet, and lower plastics show their age and would benefit from refurbishment. Priced to reflect this.
WHAT THIS AIRPLANE IS
An honest, always-hangared 1962 Skylane with a modern GPS/Nav/Comm, a near-new 3-blade prop, long-range tanks, ADS-B Out/In, engine preheat, and a fresh annual — priced for a buyer who wants a capable, IFR-ready cross-country airplane and is willing to invest sweat equity in cosmetics over time. Not a show plane; a fly-it, love-it, use-it airplane.
TERMS
• Selling by owner
• Pre-buy inspection welcome at buyer's expense, at KTRK or a mutually agreed shop
