Interior Notes
Interior is clean and well-cared-for with only a minor vinyl repair at one shoulder-harness point. Slight wear on back of pilot seat.
Exterior Notes
Exterior fabric and paint present very well; a couple of small belly seams could use a touch of Super-Seal adhesive but nothing structural. Cosmetics and fabric are in pride of ownership condition overall. Left wing painted 2025 after new fuel tank installed.
