I like the cute little Garmin panels. The thing has all the wiring
harness you need to convert it to IFR, by the way. Mike Pickett got to
sit in it at the dealers meeting and said he liked how comfortable it
was and the layout of the controls. He liked the stick, too, which is an
angle under the dash instead of attached to the floor, so it doesn't get
in the way of your dress.
Everybody made fun of the cupholders, though. FOUR cupholders in a two
place plane. Count 'em.
Makes a lot of sense to me. You need two bottles for the input fluids
and two more for the output fluids. 2 + 2 = 4 so I'd say Cessna was
just planning ahead! :-)
