Robin DR400/140 G-BAKM

This won’t hang about. There are very few good sub £40k four seat aeroplanes, let alone ones that have had the same owner for nearly 30 years and same engineer for the last 25 years. One thing about buying a DR400 is you are getting an aeroplane that has lived it’s life indoors, and that is a very desirable thing.

G-BAKM is a 1972 Robin DR400/140 Earl with 4586hrs TTAF. The 150hp Lycoming O-320-E2A engine has 1463hrs SMOH in Oct 1997 at Dukieries. The engine has ran 573hrs Since Rebuild in 2012 at Deltair with when the camshaft and followers were replaced by Deltair, along with the Top End overhaul. The last compressions at annual where 74/72/74/76 and oil consumption is minimal. The Sensenich 74DM6S5-2-64 propeller has 847hrs SPOH in April 1997. The nose leg fitted in 2018 has a 4000hr life and has just 343hrs on it. The aircraft is in ARC/Annual until Feb 2026.

The DR400/140 has two tanks, a fuselage tank and an aux tank totalling 160 litres. Cruise speed would be in the 105-110kt range, and the engine nice and sweet. They feel like a helicopter in the air with the great visibility and small stick movements required.
