	This well equipped '78 Cardinal RG has an 837 hr engine, well equipped panel with Garmin 650, 430W, dual G5's and a Garmin autopilot. It has a Powerflow exhaust, several extras and an interesting history. The current owner purchased this Cardinal in Africa in 2020. It received a very detailed inspection upon re-import with a new airworthiness certificate. The African registration remains on the lower wing surface. Extras include Umbrella fuel caps, Rosen visors, LED landing lights and beacon, articulating seats and landing gear mirror. The vacuum system is no longer needed and was removed.
