Comments:

Panel is a bit rough. Engine Analyzer hard to read and most spark plug heat sensors are broken. I use for monitoring the Battery Charge and Fuel GPH Flow.

Was IFR certified when I purchased. Never used...
ADF Antenna has been removed.

Tach reset itself to 0 due to a very hot flying day so I have to add 827.1 to the reading for the actual number. New Tach read 00 when installed. Old Tach read 3681.3 hrs when removed and has to be added.

Comments Cont':

 

I love this plane. Takes less than 700 ft to make a full stop landing and then take off again. I can be on final in full stall and have total control surface authority.  The slow speed almost makes a forced landing a non event. Panel is steam gage heaven and I wouldn't have it any other way. Sure, glass is nice but it doesn't help the airframe handle better. If I have to make a forced landing, I want to be going as slow as possible when I contact Mother Earth. Glass doesn't help me do that...

 

Has seaplane prop but never on floats
