Just read it, holy heck that is a lot of stuff Cessna got wrong on the first batch of pressurized airplanes! Something like 24 major repairs/changes. One even calls for removing all the interior window molding and re-gluing the new moulding to the plexi windows before installation. Cessna allowed 10 hours labor just for that! In total, the labor was probably 100 hours or more, PER AIRCRAFT, plus all the parts they provided.
Must have been a costly campaign for Cessna, but they realized they better own up and fix the problems before the P-Model gained a bad rep in the marketplace.
Still surprised that with all Cessna's experience building airplanes, there were so many "screw ups" in the original P design. Something to do with Pawnee's first ever pressurized twin?
