Reims F172N EI-COT

This 1979 Reims F172N has been known to us for over 25 years. It has been locally based and hangared by a flying club operated by an aircraft engineer. The aircraft was originally used as a border patrol aircraft in Germany, and has the 50 USG  Long Range tanks fitted, which make it very versatile in places where AvGas might not be readily available. The paint and interior are original, and have held up well, but more importantly there is nothing hidden it’s just an honest example. The panel has been updated with a Trig 8.33 kHz Com and Trig TT-31 Mode S with the optional ADSB WAAS position source.

The aircraft has 5267hrs TTAF, and 1186hrs SMOH in March 2013. The engine has been recently inspected for camshaft wear, compressions, oil consumption and contamination and we welcome any inspection on the aircraft. A soft copy maintenance tracking sheet is available to any prospective buyer.

We would be very happy to bring anyone on a test flight in the aircraft at Abbeyshule and demonstrate in person how well the aircraft is rigged and the performance it achieves. We are sure nobody will be disappointed in that regard! It will be the end of an era as this local flying club closes its doors, but someone will be very happy to give this wonderful 172 a new home.
