- Easier and quicker inspections
- Tri gear to tailwheel within hours (after initial installation)

- Less drag so more fuel effecient
- Increased resale value
- Fewer parts than any 150, 152, 172 tailwheel mod.
- No spin restrictions

- Useful load increase of 10 lbs.
- Higher service ceiling

Adding a 150 or 180 hp Lycoming with long range tanks to this made an
incredible little aircraft.
