you, lucky winner, will end up being the
beneficiary of this effort. You'll see 170knot true airspeeds at low altitude and
high power settings, as well as 1,000-nautical-mile still-air ranges at long-range
power. You can carry three to four passengers and their bags in great comfort
on trips of 500-nm or so, or fly yourself and a svelte sidekick on seven-hour,
nonstop continent-leaping legs. With
the Aspen and Garmin information
you'll have situational awareness galore,

including ADS-B traffic and weather,
plus you can set up the panel to show as
many as five moving maps at once.
And yes, it's easy to fly, and has few traps
for the unwary. The landing gear and flap
switches are on the right and left sides of the
panel-just the opposite of what most pilots
might expect. Another potential gotcha is
the low (106-knot) flap extension speed. In
order to slow down for landing you must
first extend the landing gear, which can be
lowered at airspeeds up to 144 knots. As for

target airspeeds, it's rotate at 68 knots, climb
at 90 to 100 knots, fly final at 85 to 90 knots
and cross the threshold at 70 knots. Simple.
So after two years of careful restoration, the time now draws very near. Soon,
a winner will be chosen and the Debonair
will fly off into its new life. I'll be there to
show you the ropes when you get the keys.
But I'll hand them over reluctantly. Maybe
I can have visiting privileges?
