The Champion Lancer was designed as a low cost twin aimed at the training market. With fixed pitch propellers and non-retractable landing gear, single engine performance was lackluster. Production began in 1963 and ended the next year with 25 -36 (various sources can't agree on the final number) aircraft built. Not a great performer, but it's uniqueness and rarity still make it stand out. The registration on this one was valid until 2018.
