They found a crack in the case so purchased a complete engine assembly (including baffling and accessories), had that engine overhauled by Barrett Precision Engines and currently has 66 hours SMOH. The spare engine was previously installed on the left side and developed an oil leak. 6 SeatsThe higher time engine has had the lower end overhauled along with cylinders but can"t be called an overhaul. Logs can be viewed on our website here In current annual and ready to fly. Excellent maintenance history including all logs since new. This Aerostar has been a corporate plane for the past few years. In production between 19, the 700P has more powerful engines, a higher max takeoff weight and optional extra fuel capacity.1977 Aerostar 601P Superstar 700 For Sale By: Private This Aerostar has been a corporate plane for. The PA-60-700P was the last Aerostar version, and just 25 were built. When Piper transferred production to its new Vero Beach, Florida factory in early 1982, only the 602P was in production, and this was redesignated the PA-60-602P. Piper continued production of the 600A, 601B and 601P at Ted Smith's Santa Maria plant, and introduced the 602P with low compression TIO-540-AA1A5 engines. Smith bought the line back again in 1972, and his new company Ted R Smith and Associates resumed Aerostar manufacture, including of the improved 601B with the same span wings as on the 601P, until Piper acquired the Aerostar line in March 1978. By this time Butler Aviation had acquired the production rights of the Aerostar in 1970, producing a small number as Butler Aerostars. The turbocharged Aerostar 601 followed the 600 into production shortly afterwards, while the turbocharged and pressurised 601P went into production in 1972. The prototype was powered by 120kW (160hp) Lycoming IO-320s, but the Aerostar was placed into production from 1968 as the Aerostar 600 with 215kW (290hp) IO-540s. Smith began design work on the Aerostar in late 1964, with a prototype making its first flight two years later in November 1966. However the Aerostar appeared in piston twin form only. Smith's original intention in designing the Aerostar was to develop a family of single and piston twins, twin turboprop and even twin jet powered versions of the same basic aircraft. The Aerostar - which in its higher powered forms can lay claim to being the fastest piston twin GA aircraft built - was designed by Ted Smith, who was also responsible for the Aero Commander twins.
