1966 PA30B Turbo Twin Comanche N98NT - Price Pending

Robertson STOL - Midlife Engines - Always Hangared - Beautiful

Summary

N98NT is a 1966 B-model factory Turbo Twin Comanche with the Robertson STOL modification. It is beautifully equipped with a new instrument panel, dual Garmin GI275s (AI and HSI), a Garmin GNX 375 all-in-one touchscreen GPS navigator / ADS-B transponder, and a digital EI CGR-30P engine management system. The airplane appears to have had excellent maintenance but all logs are missing prior to 2002 and it has no autopilot. It has beautiful paint and interior and would make a good platform for a Garmin GFC500 autopilot upgrade given its current condition, and the long life remaining on the its engines.
