Well, I took possession of N98DM today.

For those interested, 2013 QB, TMX-390, Whirlwind 74RV constant speed, dual Dynon HDX SkyViews, Garmin 650 and 220, AP, Showplanes fastback and cowl, Grove gear, 14g aux fuselage tank, and a 2,000 lb. utility weight. Dual alternators, permanent oil filter, Emags, and HOS (Hands On Stick - start, transmit, trim, flaps, AP disengage, comm flip).

400 TT airframe and engine.

On the list for Aveo tips, too. New paint next year.

Nice Plane

Nice looking plane but I would be very careful about that 2,000 lb utility weight. There are a few threads on GW increases you should look up on this forum. In a nut shell they are a fiction without engineering backup. Ask Van's. Keep it at 1,800 and you will be fine.
