This is a Reims built aircraft so it is factory corrosion proofed

 

It would be a good candidate for a buyer's first aircraft, but some are also used as a Club touring aircraft

It is the forerunner of the similar USA built R172 Hawk XP, each having the security of fixed gear, versatility of the VP CS Prop and, of course and the power of a big engine (although the Rocket has more HP than the Hawk XP)

It does have the main wheel spat but these photos were taken without
