Additional Remarks A novice pilot will be able to operate this classic aircraft at a low cost and build their hours up while learning about aircraft ownership on the way. The Colt is also rewarding for the keen, experienced pilot as is easy to fly but hard to fly really well. he aircraft type is so robust that Piper produced a film way back in the 50's showing the PA22 taking off from a ploughed field across the furrows in the field. EI-EZX is far nicer than an aeroplane at this price point should be. Back in November 2013 we first came across this aeroplane when it had been imported from the UK as G-ARJF. The then owners were able to point out it had dual 18 Gallon Tanks, Skylight, Disc Brakes, Four Point Harness, Alternator Upgrade, Lightweight Starter and a Spin-on Oil Filter. Someday we knew it would cross our path, and here it is. We can see the pride of ownership in the laminated checklists, updated flight manual and calibrated dipstick that the previous owner made for it. The aeroplane gets off the ground sharpish, and the wetter the field the better it likes it. If flight instruction is needed we will get an ILAS member who is an instructor to fly with you until you are entirely comfortable at your new proposed base. The best climb speed is 75mph and the standard cruise is 2400rpm at 100mph burning 26L or so If you look at the aeroplane and look at the books, you will understand why we have it. For €23,500 it would be mighty fun for a small group or new owner. All you need is a hangar and an open mind! £20,000 STG (UK VAT Paid) or €23,500 Euro (EU VAT Paid)
