Thanks you for this very prompt and informative reply. The plane sounds great - with the usual caveats. Are you guys always this helpful?

Part Two: My plane partner and I have argued long into the night about the virtues of certified known icing vs. de-icing. I don't see any P337's cert. for known ice. In fact, I haven't seen a photo of one that even has boots on the vertical stabilizers. Have any of you had any experience with this type in ice? I do not plan to fly more than 5 minutes in ice ever, but I live in Toronto and this is a BIG consideration 6 months of the year.
