Thanks JDevoy for the report. Much appreciated.

Congratulations! Welcome!😀

Dave, Well said. Keep up the good work here at the forum. I too will be converting to E-LSA soon as looking down the road it's getting obvious that a factory "unsupported" S-LSA will be a white elephant that will impact the planes value in the resale market. In the meantime I love my Pipersport. Pilot Pete

Love this thread. Thanks to the folks who are spending time on this subject! A good pilot is always learning!

WhiskeyPapa thank you for the succinct summary!

Nice traditional six pack cockpit!!! Clean!😃

Speculation: Maybe he wanted your registration for the initial transfer to go smoothly, rather than adding the change to experimental along with the change of ownership at the same time? FAA best doing one thing at a time etc.

👍😃 welcome!

Assuming all good mechanically I don't think you will find a better deal so far as price and hours in this economy. The five year rubber and new gear is often a financial stumbling block, so that is good news. Back in early 2020 that price would get you the glass cockpit, but since then those models jumped to the $120+k range. If the aircraft has a BRS those cost about $3,000 repack every 5 years, not sure if that figures in for your plane. As well as ADSB if you fly within the Mode C etc. So hopefully ADSB is included as it costs to upgrade etc. Folks in the forum here will reasonably argue that the price is too high, and compared to three years ago it certainly is, but today is today, and you want to fly today. Seems like you are doing do diligence on the mechanics, and if she checks out I don't see how you could do much better without jumping into the current state of affairs in the $120k Sportcruiser market. The plane is an outstanding performer within the mission this plane is designed for (two folks who don't weigh too much in reasonable VFR). You may want to check the forums on what to review and look for before purchase, as I recall there is a very succinct thread on that here somewhere. Good luck!

Welcome!😃 Lots of content here in the archives!
