Lynn writes: "I became involved with N14732 in March 1991, when the then new owner called me to propose that I rent it from him to offset the costs of ownership (help him pay for it!). I had no idea that nine years later I would own it. I am based in the Dallas Ft. Worth area but will be relocating to Seattle at the beginning of the new year. I have flown the airplane approximately 650 hours since 1991. It has been to the Florida Keys, OSH, California, and lots of times to Lubbock, Texas! I have it equipped with stand-by vacuum, an air-oil separator, a coupled Northstar M3 GPS, landing lights in both wings, a PS Engineering stereo audio panel, Air Wolf remote oil filter, '79 enclosed wing tip strobes, and NO ADF! With this past annual inspection (January 2000), I upgraded it further with a fuel flow totalizer, bar graph engine analyzer, and combination volt/ammeter, all by Electronics International, Inc., and a set of GAMIjectors. I expect to begin exploring the West Coast in the spring!"
"My grandson, Grant, had his first ride in 14732 at age six days! He likes to go to the arport and fy wit his Pawpaw in his arpane (his pronunciations). Pawpaw likes that too. Maybe he can solo it on his sixteenth birthday!"
