Hello Geoff, thanks for the names of some good experts. It's also great to know that you like the L model!
Agreed on the surprises - I’m trying to educate myself on the possible issues, but I expect to have something unexpected! :-)
I’m planning to get my PPL/VFR license in the plane, so unfortunately, I can’y fly it solo to CT... However, I’m considering various options - including flying it back with an instructor so I can log time, etc.
The plane I’m looking at has the standard 6 pack, and can only shoot non-precision approaches for IFR. I may eventually have to upgrade the avionics for IFR training, but I have time to ponder on avionics upgrades.. Looking forward to fun days ahead!
Cheers,
Manu
