Every day, the team at Aircraft For Sale chooses an airplane that catches our attention because it is unique, a good deal, or has other qualities we find interesting. You can read Aircraft For Sale: Today’s Top Pick at FLYINGMag.com daily.
Today’s Top Pick is a 1962 Ryan Navion G Rangemaster.
For the discerning pilot who values classic design updated with modern performance, this award-winning plane presents a unique and compelling opportunity. The meticulously restored aircraft is a true showpiece, blending timeless aesthetics with significant performance and interior upgrades.
This Rangemaster boasts an upgraded Continental IO-550 engine, delivering over 300 hp with less than 400 hours since major overhaul. This powerful engine, a significant enhancement over the original, is paired with a balanced, low-time Hartzell constant-speed propeller, providing a smooth and powerful flying experience that far exceeds the original specifications.
The panel, while maintaining its classic appeal with original gauges in excellent condition, features modern necessities for today’s pilot. Navigation is handled by a Garmin GPS with a moving map, complemented by an integrated autopilot for reduced workload on long flights. The aircraft is further equipped with dual nav/com radios, transponder, and intercom system with push-to-talk controls for both pilot and copilot.
