This 1968 Cardinal has been well maintained and updated for performance. The engine has 160 HP pistons and was flow matched by Mena Aircraft engines in 2006, adding more power to the capabilities of the installed Horton STOL package. A Maple Leaf lower cowl fairing increases speed and efficiency. The updated panel has dual G5's, a modern Nav/Comm and very capable audio panel. A RAM post is installed at the bottom of the stack for mounting your preferred tablet. This Cardinal was exported to Canada in 1976 and returned to the USA in 1995. Currently based in Venice Florida, it is in a shade hanger and has been treated with Corrosion X. | |
