PZL Bielsko SZD 41A Jantar Standard

This is my SZD 41A Jantar Standard. It's appearance is not pristine, but it is complete, sound, functional and all of the internal details have been looked after. Everything you need to go flying. This plane and trailer are ready to go anywhere and fly. Period. The price includes includes parachute, trailer and handling gear. The Softie parachute with aerobatic harness was new in Oct 2017 and repacked every year. The Custom trailer was manufactured in 2018. Main wheel and tube new 2018; tail wheel, tube and brass hub new 2019. Glider was last flown in Oct 2020. The high and robust landing gear makes out-landings very survivable without damage. It a great plane to learn and fly cross country. The instrument panel has been upgraded with a new radio and FLARM ATD display and laid out so all the instruments are easy to find. Sale includes a Colibri II with current certification. The plane has dual main batteries and been completely rewired, with terminal blocks, fuse blocks and disconnects for safety and ease of maintenance. The pneumatic lines have been updated and properly color coded per the Flight Manual. There is also a pneumatic disconnect to simplify removal of the panel. Safety locks have been installed on the seat and glare shield so they will stay in place even on rough fields and under negative G's. Seat belts and seat cushion have been replaced. All certifications and inspections are up to date and good for the upcoming flying season: Last annual Sep 17/24; Parachute repacked 2025; Colibri serviced by LX NAV Sept 2022. I've always appreciated "what's under the makeup" and never been one who appreciates shiny looks. But the plane is painted, not gel coated, so if you don't like what you see some time with a good 2-part polyurethane paint can change all that. One last thing; I flew the plane with a Garmin G5 AIS and GMU11 magnetometer (new in 2017) in place of the magnetic compass. I re-installed the magnetic compass because I was told that no one other than me would want to have an AIS in a glider. If you happen to be the exception to that statement I'll put the G5 system back in for an additional $1500.00
