STi STOL vs SS7

I will try and find the interview...

Are you going to equip for IFR? I think it would be fun to take my 914-powered Kitfox up into the flight levels for giggles, but I'm not going to equip IFR for the privilege. 17999 is good enough for me.

Are you going to equip for IFR?...

I thought about fully IFR and spoke to John about doing it but not worth the money to put a approach approved GPS in it for the hand full of times I would use it. Mostly low vis in the winter. . As far as going to the flight levels....I will have the equipment needed to navigate appropriately on a clear day.

As long as it's severe clear, nobody on the ground will know how you're navigating. Just make sure it's clear: there is little that is more embarrassing than cancelling IFR to avoid clouds.

Ha reminds me when the eclipse jet was first “certified” it was IFR certified but VMC only. Pilots said it was hard to explain why they had to deviate for weather middle of winter, trying to avoid clouds.🙂

Is there anyone with a STI wing on a Model 4? That would be a total beast I would think with a 100hp.
