Why selling

I'm finding it tough to find time to fly. Little kiddos at home are part of it. I'm also increasingly getting into other hobbies. The truth is there are times I could fly, but I'm prioritizing other things. It's also a hike to get to the airport, and the hangar rent at closer airports is a dealbreaker for me.

I love flying, and love this plane, but it doesn't make sense to continue owning it. It's time for it to go to a new home.
