I think I've picked the colors. It will be the same scheme as my airplane (N311TP) except the green will be this awesome metallic blue and the gold will be a rich metallic silver that I used on N469ES. If it goes under contract, the buyer can paint it however he likes!

Mike sure has some nice stuff, and his support afterwards has been fantastic. Good looking bird, GLWS!

That was quick! Looks like a great bird and a solid price. I do want TRs but everything else about my plane is perfect.

You have a winner that’s the fastest 501 I’ve ever flown

I see you bolded ZERO hours since hot sections
So the last overhaul was 1800? Since you say 1800 till next overhaul or HSI.
I see ads with just posting TSHSI but sometimes they had an early HSI or a couple HSI for other issues and thus there may be less time to OH.
Not sure why all adds do not state TSN, TSOH, and TSHSI.
If these are the original engines then the times would be great. 3500 hr TBO, then OH with the good blades (that increase the TBO to 3600hr) so then 5292 TSN would be spot on.
Please educate me otherwise.

Michael -
what's the range of TAS you see when you sell these? what's Chris seeing for TAS?
how does a guy prevent getting a slow airframe?
are there ways to see if it's mis-rigged (bent) to fix slower ones?

350-355 max is the usual. I've seen 365 in Chris' airplane but that's very unusual. Slowest I've seen was 348. I'm sure you could mess with aileron and flap rigging a little to have tiny gains but I don't think there's any way to predict who is fast and who is slow. A nice paint job and ceramic coating probably adds the most speed.

I run my personal engines below max power and intentionally chose to go slower. 340kts is plenty for my needs.

What altitudes? I honestly don't think mine is quite that fast if the GTN's are to be believed.

Every time I've asked Tarver about a part, it had a price. :-)

Legacy Citation parts are not a problem.

Just read that 525 brakes have a back log now just as the intercoolers were coming into stock. Newer doesn't always mean easier to find parts for.
