He may have merely did a paint and interior. He certainly didn't improve the panel much except for the Garmin. For $60k in receipts, I'd like to know where the $$'s went.
It probably already had the engine??
I'm sure it's a heck of a nice airplane, and I'd like to know what it took to convert the flaps to manual. I do know it is impossible to propel Birdie through the air at 145 mph in level flight at normal cruise altitude using only 8 gph...and she's about as clean (aerodinamiclly) as a 150 gets. Maybe he's talking about flying up where you need Oxygen or something?
