This one belongs to a husband and wife team of professional pilots. Though they maintained the external appearance of the original, beneath that facade there are many modifications, including 180 hp instead of the original 125 hp. And the three that visited our airport that day had all been converted to military-like sticks, rather than the original control wheels.
