Was looking at this beauty of an Arrow featured in Pipers magazine
(www.4979S.com). According to the article, the guy spent over $170,000
updating the thing and boy does it show. It got me wondering about other
examples so I figured I'd ask the most vocal group I know
of--rec.aviation.piloting!

All that money spent and no form of anti-icing? Hmmm...

What are some of the most extreme examples of, umm, "investing" have you
seen and/or heard of in a personal aircraft?

Converting a B36 Bonanza's engine to Rocket Engineering's "Turbine Air"
turboprop system, somewhere in the neighborhood of US $495,000.
