Got my new Pa20 thanks to a member on here for sending me info. I flew down to Toronto area and looked over and flew the plane for a good 3 hours and was totally impressed. Probably more impressed with the owner/AME. He is totally awesome guy that let me do the prebuy.
Overall condition is 9/10 inside and out even with the smaller O290 I could do circles around my tripacer 150hp. Cruised good 125mph climbed at 900 FPM. Plane handles well and is very stable on the ground and in the air. I think it's the droop that sure helps? It was 20 knot winds and hot afternoons. Good times to test it 8)
Met up with couple people in Ontario and were totally awesome guys. Anyhow the plane will be fairyied to Saskatoon by the owner. To busy with work.

We flew to Aircraft Spruce Canada, got to check out there store.

Hi,
Looks like a really nice airplane. Mine is serial number 226 with a 290 D+. What make are your droop tips? hard to see in pictures. I have some that were from Western Canada as I remember but can't think of name at moment.

Doug Im sorry don't know off hand as my experience with droop tips have been limited. But what I can tell you is in the three hours I flew her, what a difference in handling in bumpy conditions. Day in night comparing to my other 22's. Was actually fun to fly in a hot afternoon in 20 knot winds. Never hear me say that about HJX or KIS.
