TQ KRT2 Radio less than 1 year old
Funke TRT Transponder new last summer.
Very easy to fly and perfectly balanced and trimmed, winter cruise at 175 Kts at 2350 rpm or at 125Kts at 2000 rpm with 20 litres per hour!
If you want to burn a little more fuel 185Knots cruise is available if you power up! Handling is so easy and well coordinated. My own preference is to cruise around 160 kts as it's still quick but at that speed it's great on fuel.
Superb aerobatic performance made easy by the additional power.
New engine/canopy cover.
Excellent paintwork in a great colour scheme.
Also included is a Pilot Aware Rosetta plus a complete permanent fit kit which includes gps, and external aerials. This is not fitted.
