Aircraft For Sale's "Top Pick" is a 1994 Steen Skybolt, highlighted for its unique qualities as a lesser-known but well-regarded sport biplane.
The Skybolt, originally a student project, is praised for its harmonious handling, precise control, and offering a traditional "seat-of-the-pants" flying experience with analog instrumentation.
The specific aircraft for sale features low hours (132 total time, 113 on its 250 hp Continental IO-470K engine) and is available for $55,000.
