Interior & Exterior
- Paint Year
- 1994
- Interior Notes
- The interior is standard-issue for the Decathlon line, though the seats were recently reupholstered and look great. The new seat foam makes for a very comfortable ride. The carpet shows some minor wear, but having been replaced several years back, is still in good condition. Overall, the interior of this aircraft looks good.
- Exterior Notes
- Decathlon N4142Y has nice ramp presence with its nice looking exterior. During the broker intake process, I noticed no damage or significant issues. Leading and trailing edges of the wings and tail look nearly perfect, with no sign of hangar rash. The aft portion of the left wing tip has a very minor scrape which, frankly, may disappear with a round of polishing compound. The fabric looks to be in good condition, and the 1994 paint looks great for its age (no doubt this is because the aircraft is always hangared). Plexiglas windows are clear and while they show some age, I didn't see evidence of any haze. The tundra tires look healthy and like they are in good condition. I saw no evidence of fluid leaks from the engine or the brakes.
