Good attitude Paul. Although I have not gone quite as far in as you have, I am having to console myself on the Cherokee I bought too.

Hey....it's only money. Kind of like my wife told me. "Well we are still $40K ahead of the Cardinal with a rebuilt engine". Yup...that's perspective.

I won't be upgrading avionics anytime soon, but the rebuilt Mk12Dplus and Garmin 296 will get me anywhere I need to go.
