Remarks

This is a large and interesting airplane.
It is similar to a Cessna 185 only with sticks instead of yokes. 
All fiberglass construction means no airframe corrosion. 
It is very stable and docile in flight. Not light on the controls and flies more like a Baron than a C-185.
Very robust flight control and linkages. No pulleys, all push rods and one HD elevator push pull cable.
