    Default Model IV upgrades

    On some of the other forums I belong to I used to find it interesting following some of the mods other owners would do- and it was kind of fun documenting the changes. With that said, I figured I would start mine here.(if there is another place for this please let me know)

    I bought this model 4 locally from the original owner, my plan is to upgrade the panel and put it on floats. I also want to upgrade the gear, and do some other things along the way. I am wide open to suggestion, and am really looking forward to learn from you guys

    Current thoughts are Skyview with autopilot, grove gear with bush tires, and once again floats. Are the Zenair the best way to go? Thoughts? Opinions?

    Thanks guys-

    Also it is a 80 hp Rotax with a warp drive prop.

    Those graphics look similar to the Idaho license plate graphics. Wonder if the PO had ties to Idaho or just liked the look. At one time Idaho won a national award for those graphics.

    Good luck with your new bird.
