Aircraft For Sale's "Today's Top Pick" is a 1994 Steen Skybolt, an uncommon biplane originally conceived as a student project.
The Skybolt is highly regarded for its harmonious handling, near-perfect proportions, and offers a classic "seat-of-the-pants" flying experience with traditional analog instruments.
This specific aircraft features low hours (132 on the airframe) with a 250 hp Continental IO-470K engine and is available for $55,000.
