Aircraft description
This is a newly completed aircraft; with just 35 hours on airframe, engine & prop. This aircraft will suit a buyer seeking a rare opportunity to own the newest J-160C to be registered, at less than half the price of a factory-new J-170D.
A full engine bulk strip and upgrade with Rotec Aeropsort has just been completed. The aircraft has been thoroughly checked and has just completed test flying.
It is one of the lightest J-160's on the register, at just 294.5kg. New electronic ignition kit, that provides improved reliability and superior cold-start performance.
A host of upgrades have been completed, including new tyres, new brake piston gaskets and stainless nipples, new fuel lines, new EFI hose clamps, new steel-braided oil lines, new through-bolts, flywheel and propeller bolt replacement, re-conditioned carburettor (new jetting for optimal mixture), and new battery. All of the Gen 1 upgrades have been completed. New livery design was added late 2025. Newly sprayed spats have now been fitted for the sale.
Aircraft now relocated to Murwillimbah, Northern NSW (Tweed River area). Fresh 25 hourly completed.
