Only six of these in the USA, and this is a really nice one! No-damage/No-ding history and always hanger'd. Beautifully refinished by Nelson; no crazing, no surface waves on wings & no wing-stand dimples. Factory 15m & 17.6 m tips. Maughmer 15 m winglets. Beautifully re-furbished, large B-sized cockpit. Extremely nimble in thermals or turbulent air and flies hands-off, straight as an arrow, for miles & miles in wave or still air. Trailer has no dents, dings or leaks and tows as if on rails at max highway speeds.
