Hehe...

Thanks Dudely!

Taken as GOOD advice!

"A rubberneckin we go"

The new vis is very good, except for straight down for the
rear seat pax....

It sure is nice to see where we are headed in turns...

Now, don't get the High vs low wing thingy going guys... be
kind...

I flew a Cardinal once, high wing but super vis... my eyeballs
were AHEAD of the wing root...

Wellll...

We did it.... The 172 is history..

We are the proud owners of a 1976 Warrior, 151....

Pix to follow for the gallery....

So far so good. We planning some upgrades, but so far
enjoying the toys,( it's REALLY tricked out for IFR) and LOVING the
view of the rny on the turn to final...

More of a Pirep when we get some more time on it..

Thanks to all in this group for thoughts and advice..

I was the dude with the "stalling speeds" thread a while
ago....

Cheers!

Congratulations and the best of luck with the new airplane.
Just for what it's worth, and I'm sure you have most likely already
considered this, but I'll pass it along to you anyway just in case. It's a
bit of advice I always gave pilots transitioning from high wings to low
wings and visa versa.
For the first few hours you fly the new airplane, put a penciled notation on
your preflight checklist as the last item to be checked just before takeoff
and before landing.
