If it's a/c, none, can't afford it! Hope to own an RV-7 or 8 in the next two years.

Friend who is a retired Delta captain has a Diamond DA 40, J3 Cub, and a Citabria he rebuilt in his garage. He does cross countries and instruments in the Diamond, aerobatics in the Citabria, and smily wavy in the Cub. Another Delta CA I know has a real pretty fully restored Cessna 310.

I'd like to get one of these, but I would be too chicken to fly it.
