Nice airplane. Didn't know it came in a retractable version, though...


It doesn't.

Gear is fixed and welded. I believe that gear handle and lights were
factory installed as a training aide for when the pilot was ready for
an upgrade to a Sierra.

Always gets experience pilots, and reactions are priceless. Lights do
light up, so it's wired to the ships power.

I got the Temperfoam seats, too.

I would have mixed emotions on that choice.

Temperfoam seats are (for a while) like sitting on cold bricks, when you first
get into the plane when it is cold outside. JMHO.

My problem is quite the opposite, avoiding 13th degree burns on the
backs of my legs from the scalding hot heat down these neck of the
woods.

I did get some of that aluminum stuff to put in the windows on the
inside to help protect the new interior, but must be some science to
putting that stuff up without it falling off closing the door!
