Interior Notes
The interior was done at the same time and still shows very well. There is slight wear on the back of the pilot's seat. Airtex carpet was recently installed.
Exterior Notes
In 1997, the aircraft was stripped and painted with base coat Alumigrip Matterhorn White, and trimmed in Jet Glow Sable Brown, Oakwood Brown, Sahara Tan and Moondust. The aircraft has been kept waxed, hangared, and the paint is still stunning. There is slight hangar rash under the left elevator near the fuselage - very minor. Flight controls were balanced.
