This is sure one jazzy looking plane with a full compliment of instrumentation for a seem- ingly good price but I have a few questions... Being exposed only to a C-172 I am wondering what kind of flying machine the Grumman is in comparison. I realize the low wings should exhibit a more enhanced float due to ground effect, but I can't seem to get anything else except from the seller (who is upgrading to a Mooney), as to how it flies. So if any of you out there have some thing I should know before jumping in I would sure appreciate it. I also think some sort of regular reviews of some of the more popular private aircraft would be a good thing for this news group. Thanks in advance for any help...
