Flew to Lancaster pushing a 20 to 30 knot headwind all the way. Two hours into the return flight, I took it to 12,000 feet, turned red-line and then some, easily. Needs more prop. Complete instrument panel upgrade. 2 430s, 340 audio panel and a 327 transponder. JPI EDM 700. Digital tach. Mitchell gauges, AuCountry eyebrow, Nu-Lites. Paint and interior and this is as good or better than new. ____________________________________ Find phone numbers fast with the _New AOL Yellow Pages_ (http://yellowpages.aol.com/?NCID=emlweusyelp00000001) !
