OK so I got a nice start on the engine swap but I never created a page about who I am.
I got started flying late in life compared to most other pilots I know. 64L is my first plane and although she was in very nice condition when I bought her, like many other Grumman owner/pilots the need to improve her from the beginning was there. I attended my 1st AYA convention in 2004 at Baraboo WI the summer after I bought her. I soloed in her five days before I left for the convention. I flew in Dave Scull's Tiger for what turned into one of many more flights in our wonderful type AC. Later that year I got my check ride in 64L. After my trip to OSH with my cousin I got to thinking hard about an O320 upgrade. Once I flew with Paul Tolini in his O320 powered AA1C I realized how much she (and I) really needed the O320 upgrade.
The pages within here will show what improvements I've made to her since I've owned her. The updates are not being posted here chronologically as I started off building the page for the engine swap.
