New panel goodies: Stormscope & dual GNS 430's
Tom Binder writes; "This plane, N4081B, is my second Turbo Viking and was acquired from Miller Flying Service in June of 1996. I have put about 260 hours on it since then flying all over the Western United States."
"Colors are Daytona White and Cinnamon with red and gold trim. Many trim parts (fuel doors, spinner, strobe guards, hub caps, various inspection plates, nosegear torque link, etc.) have been chromed. The interior is three shades of gray with burgundy carpet."
Modifications include flush wing tips, step removal, fairing mounted landing lights, and rudder strobe relocation."
"Equipment includes dual GNS-430's, Stormscope, KT76C transponder and KMA26 audio panel, GEM Engine Monitor with dual TIT, built-in oxygen, ski tube, and coupled CII autopilot."
"Really enjoy the plane's comfort and performance."
