Latitude Aviation is proud to bring to market a beautiful and rare low time 2009 Swearingen SX-300. N87SX is based in Horseshoe Bay, TX at KDZB (which is about an hour drive from Austin).
This SX300 was built with the assistance of SX300 expert Doug Poli. Doug runs the SX-300 owner's group and has 20 years of working on these aircraft. Doug has also performed several annual condition inspections on this aircraft (including the most recent one). The workmanship on it is outstanding and as a result it was the 2014 Oshkosh Kit Champion and was a Bronze Lindy Award Winner.
N87SX is an incredibly economical speedster and will do 265 knots true with everything pushed forward or 245 knots true at 75% (17gph). N87SX looks blazing fast even when sitting on the ground. And at 14.4 nmpg, it is an incredibly efficient aircraft as well.
The spec sheet is below and in it is a Dropbox link to the logbooks, high-resolution photo gallery, and the FAA records. Please email or call anytime to discuss this incredible aircraft!
