I had a '60 model with a partner, we were just time building and each put over 300 hours on that thing. I was the A&P and he was the instructor so a good arrangement. We had a similar panel so just used a handheld on the yoke, went all over the country and one trip up to Fairbanks and back. Once I hauled a jeep engine for my buddy so his dad could overhaul it, just slide it into the back! Both engines weeped oil, just kept a case in the baggage with ready supply of rags to wipe off the gear.
We put an electronic ignition unit on the nose heater that worked really good. I couldn't imagine owning one if your not doing your own maintenance, you pretty much need to be on it constantly, said I'd never own anything that needed 24 plugs again.
