Description:

Half share available in what must be one of the best equipped Reims Rockets anywhere. Selling a half share in my own aircraft as have other aircraft to fly and it’s not designed to just sit in a hangar!
Hugely capable aircraft - cruise at 145kt TAS at 44L/hr (10gph) or lean back to 26L/hr (6 gph) and do over 1000nm yet all while operating from just a few hundred metres of grass.
West Midlands based
Hangared last 7 years (my ownership.)
Maintained and upgraded by Airspeed Aviation at Derby
IO 360 210hp engine - Zero-timed engine overhaul by GAMA 2023/24 - with approximately 60 hours since (rising steadily as aircraft in use).
GAMIjectors installed 2025
CS Prop replaced 2022
Full glass cockpit:
G3X PFD/MFD with EFIS, synthetic vision, highway in the sky, flightpath indicator, terrain, traffic and full engine monitoring.
G5 Back-up EFIS with remote magnetometer and battery back-up.
IFR certified GNX 375 GPS/Transponder ADS-B in and out.
Garmin 255 Nav/Com
GMA Audio with Bluetooth
VOR
DME
S-Tec 50 3 axis Autopilot coupled to GPSS with Alt hold
Long range tanks (298 Litres - 274 useable)
Vortex generators
Upgraded seatbelts (4 point front, 3 point rear)
High Power beacon and rear strobe. LED landing light.

Surefly EIS (single Mag replacement) pending in next few weeks.

Spare headsets, PLBs and Immersion suits available as required.

Would best suit an IMC/IFR rated (or aspiring) pilot with touring ambitions, especially well suited to areas with shorter/non-tarmac strips - otherwise you’d be better off with a share in a Mooney!

NB This is an N-reg aircraft so an FAA will be licence required to operate it outside the UK. (It is actually a relatively simple paperwork exercise to get an FAA piggyback licence.) On the plus side, if you are not already IFR rated, the FAA IR is a substantially cheaper option compared to the UK offering.
