Own a piece of Australian aviation history. A 1968 SUD Gardan GY80-160D. Well looked after.

All logs and maintenance records available.

The constant speed propeller has 75 hours since the last overhaul. Since purchased in 2023 I had a cockpit/ main fuselage cover made.

Recent corrosion in left hand wheel well fixed. Apart from that no other corrosion or rust.

Windscreen requires replacing, but I can supply this upon sale.

Trim synchronises with the elevator. Flower Flaps automatically drop 15° when undercarriage is lowered.

Strengthening of undercarriage winder on jack screw mechanism. Top head overhauled.


MTOW 1050kg, 602kg empty. Cruises 115 knots using 35 litres per hour. Fuel capacity is 160 Litres.

This aircraft has a great story / piece of Australian aviation history. See online article at:
