Description
T300 4250This is the best T300 on the register. Great condition, very low hours on both aircraft and engine. She is well maintained always hangared and covered, a joy to fly and looks fantastic. 4,250
Rotax 503 - roughly 20 hours
Airframe - roughly 350 hours (though that s only on the fuse tube and seats, read below!).
Note it has a T600 pod but this is a T300 underneath

Based at Popham Airfield.
Originally built in 1989, I bought this aircraft from the eponymous Rod Humphrey s. Rod is a BMAA inspector and runs aircraft engineering company Volair - he specialises in maintaining and fixing microlights and as he used to work for Thruster test flying new aircraft for the factory, he is one of the UK s leading Thruster guys. MVWS was Rod s personal aircraft and pet project, I think the only original parts are the fuse tube and the seats - over the years he totally renovated her with brand new parts and he even fitted a T600 pod, she was effectively a brand new aircraft when I bought her from Rod.
I ve had her for about 4 years and Rod has continued to maintain the aircraft for me and I ve only done around 60 hours in that time. I had a new zero timed/overhauled rotax 503 fitted and have put less than 20 hours on it so it s practically a brand new engine too. Skins are Dacron and in very good condition.
This is a reluctant sale, I am an instructor and have no time to fly it but I will miss having access to this excellent aircraft, I don t think there s another like it.
Note that as I m an instructor I can train/check you out on the aircraft and provide you with a very cheap tail wheel conversion too.
