So its been upgraded with a pair of Garmin G5 EFIS displays and a GTN 650 mated to a GTX 345 Mode S transponder. There were only five stall-related accidents, most on high density altitude takeoffs at or near gross weight. So they wouldnt get dizzy, they kept an older Bendix/King KX 155 nav/com and the KMA 24 audio panel.

Notable design changes included the introduction of a swept tail design in 1960 and a new cowl design in 1961, which improved aerodynamics and performance. With a maximum takeoff weight of 2,400 pounds and a maximum gross weight that ensures stability, this aircraft is robust enough to handle a variety of flying conditions.
