Before reaching its first owner, it featured as a show plane. Thanks to a professionally-applied ceramic coating on the paintwork a year ago - and living in a hangar - it looks as good today as it did when it was first built. G-STEL will not disappoint.

No expense has been spared with maintenance and some useful additions. Amongst others it has had:

Remanufactured starter motor
New distributor caps, HT leads and spark plugs
External PilotAware aerials
Updated Trig Radio and transponder
New Teleflex (steering) cable
New cabin air heat exchanger (for the cold weather)
Remanufactured fuel pump
Fuel drain valves
New battery
Full set of covers

The Jabiru 3300 six cylinder engine is rock-solid. The oil and filter are changed every 25 hours. It has all the scheduled maintenance. Since owning it, regular compression tests and borescoping are undertaken with no sign of deterioration.

The plane is used for distance work. Very few trips are less than a two-hour round trip. I have flown from its Deanland (EGKL) base on the South Coast, to France, Scotland and Ireland, without hesitation.
