Rallye MS.883 £22,000

Morane Saulnier Rallye MS. 883 - 1970 No 1552.

Superb example of this type. No corrosion in spar which is this models Achilles heel, paintwork and interior presentable. TTAF hours only 3284. Engine top end rebuild in 2019 including 4 new cylinder heads and new exhaust costing £20k (including avionics upgrade). Maintained by Brinkleys Aviation for the last 4 years who are also the CAMO - All AD’s up to date. Brake master cylinders rebuilt. Just completed it’s annual with ARC valid until 15/06/2023. This aircraft has been lovingly maintained by the present owner with no expense spared - All tech books present. A great first plane for a novice pilot and this is exactly who she would suit now. You are buying into a French character aircraft here and I would prefer to sell to someone who will look after her. Mode S (Trig TT21) and 8.33 radio. Also has Airgizmo integrated ipad holder and USB charging ports for running Sky Demon or similar. A great first aircraft, superb all-round vision from clear sliding Perspex canopy. STOL Flying into short grass strips - she is fun with slats. Light handling stick and rudder, and 21-23lts an hour from the 115hp Lycoming O-235-C2A , long range tanks, nice slow economical flying, just great for viewing the scenery passing by below. A most reluctant sale, but time for me to let her go for someone else to enjoy her.
