Additional remarks
True to its name, the Reims Rocket boasts a 210hp engine and a variable-pitch propeller, making it faster than the typical Cessna 172. The engine benefited from a top end overhaul in 2022 whilst extensive works were undertaken on the rest of the aircraft. G-MFEF’s exceptional short-field performance allows it to operate in and out of smaller airfields with ease. Along with impressive fuel endurance, modern avionics, and an autopilot system, Echo Foxtrot stands out as a highly desirable aircraft to own.
Having the additional HP over the Hawk XP the Rocket certainly out performs any other 172 variant in the STOL performance it offers with the added bonus of factory corrosion proofing and the bare metal respray this aicraft is set to last its new owner for years to come.
