£15,000

A rare opportunity to purchase a beautifully built, nearly new classic aircraft.

For the first time G-RAGS a Pietenpol Aircamper comes to market, first flown in 2005 with only 44 hours since new, it has been built and owned by the same owner, with meticulous attention to detail. G-RAGS is particularly special, as it has been built in the style of 1930’s aircraft, as opposed to the standard 1920’s look, incorporating a beautifully made rounded engine cowling, covering the electrically started Continental 0-200 engine with just 13 hours since a full recondition (and just 100hours since full overhaul), along with large faired wheels with sprung undercarriage.

With tandem open front & rear cockpits, P1 is flown from the rear seat, where there is the standard range of VFR and engine instruments, including a mounting bracket for a handheld radio. There are full controls in both cockpits, including heel brakes in both.

This is a real opportunity for the right buyer to purchase a fastidiously built & maintained aircraft, perfect for low and slow summer flights, with the ability to operate from very short strips and bound to bring plenty of attention when you arrive at your destination.

Currently hangared at Shobdon Aerodrome in Herefordshire, where the current hangarage can be taken over by the new owner, should they so wish. Transition to type training can be arranged, or ferry flights can also be arranged for the new owner if required.

Priced at £15,000 - offering exceptional value to the new owner.
