We have a V35A Bonanza that has been completely made over. It was a dog when we bought it, but some new paint, new interior, panel redu with some new radios, factory reman IO-520BB, new prop and some good maintainence has turned it into a good IFR plane. Added a S-Tec 30 w/ altitude hold and GPSS, so with the Garmin radios, it flies nice.
I have a little P-210 time. A great plane. I worked for a consulting engineer right out of college that worked for Cessna's insurance carrier back when all the 210 fuel system lawsuits were going on. The guy that did my panel also did about the finest 210 panel I have ever seen. He removed all the plastic and did a nice flat panel.
And I have 40 wt oil. I had 30 wt on the brain as I changed the oil in my Scout this past weekend, so between 15-50 in the plane, 15-40 in the F350, Delo 40, Pennzoil 30 and John Deere PowerGard oil, I have a flipping cornucopia of oil.
