After almost 12 years of ownership, I am putting my N11573 up for sale. (It’s not what you think. I recently purchased a Cessna 172 and my financial advisor informed me that we can’t afford 2 airplanes.)

After leaving the Kansas factory in December 1973, she was based in Oklahoma for about a year training new pilots before being relocated to Iowa and Nebraska for the next 48 years in private hands.

Currently the airframe and engine hours are at 3001 and counting. The engine was overhauled once at 1625 hrs. which is 1376 SMOH. A couple of cylinders have been replaced since.

The prop has 378 hrs since overhaul. (Thanks Benjie)

She is sporting the original exterior paint and interior.

Some of the improvements that have been added are:
Skytec starter
FM engine oil filter
EAA auto fuel STC
Cleveland wheels and brakes
Lord shimmy damper
Mcfarlane fuel vent line.
Tanis engine heater
TKM 300 Nav/com
Flightcom 403LSA 2 place stereo intercom. (Pilot side has Lemo headset plug)
Garmin 327 transponder
ADSB out Tailbeacon
Electronics International volt/amp gauge
Electronics International FP-5L fuel flow
LED exterior lights (excluding the beacon)
ACK 406 mhz ELT

I have always done owner assisted annual inspections, The last 4 have been with a retired Fedex mechanic located in central Iowa. He doesn’t miss anything. (Just ask David R)

$35,000 Firm



Airframe and engine logs since birth.

Say it ain’t so, Lyle!

Seriously, you have a very nice airplane for sale at a fair price. Good luck!

What prompted you to switch to a 172? I am always curious. My financial advisor (a few years ago] pointed me the other direction, from a 172 to a 150. Both are superb!

That is a nice airplane! It will be missed on the Fly Kansas Air Tour.

Lyle, just because my L model with the Lycoming 0320 can outrun your stock L doesn’t mean you need to beat me now with a Skyhawk. That’s it, I’m shopping for a Skylane. laugh

Congratulations on the upgrade! I want a ride in it.

Someone is gonna get a very nice 150 and I hope it (and the new steward) stay here in the club and comes to Clinton every year.

And this is why God gave us the ability to cast a pox on some folks that need that form of punishment. smirk
