Aircraft description

PRICE DROP TO SELL!

This is a newly completed aircraft; with just 25 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-170C, with glass cockpit EFIS, touchscreen GPS Navigation and ADSB capability included.

A full engine bulk strip and upgrade with Rotec Aeropsort has just been completed. The aircraft has been thoroughly checked and is completing its final few hours of test-flying, prior to sale.

Recently weighed by Alan Searle; it is one of the lightest J-160's on the register, at just 294.5KG! The team at Rotec have installed an electronic ignition kit, that provides improved reliability and superior cold-start performance. A host of upgrades have been completed, including new fuel lines, EFI hose clamps, steel-braided oil lines, 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 September 2025!

Also available:
Brand new Garmin 660 GPS & dock, AV30 EFIS and TailX Beacon INCLUDED in asking price (still in box), for the new owner to complete a full avionics glass upgrade! Installation is also available at additional cost.

Spats being painted currently, and will be included in the sale.
