1980 231 for sale.

[231flyer]

This has been my trusty 231 since 1993.  My girls are getting big so I bought a Mirage last year.  I kept the 231 as my toy but I have struggled to get it in the air every other week.  She has been great to me and my family and needs to find a good new home.  The engine had one low cylinder (52/70) in 2007 so I took the opportunity to get a complete top overhaul especially since I fly from TX to the CO mountains often.  My mechanic convinced me to get a "long" top so the rods we overhauled as well and all the hardware was replaced with new including the piston pins.  She runs great and is a true "two finger" airplane......I have always hand flow the plane.  I have complete logs and all ADs/SBs are current.
