FAQ

What make and model is that plane?
Cessna 414, built in 1975.
Does it have a kitchen inside?
No, we love to cook over the fire. It only has beds in it currently; eventually we will add chairs and a table.
Does it have AC?
Yes! It also has a fresh air blower.
Does it tow nice?
Very nice! Sometimes we forget it's even there. Obviously it's aerodynamic. We installed Timbren axle-less suspension, and it handles bumps really well.
What kind of electrical setup does it have?
We have an inverter/charger with 120-volt outlets, as well as 12-volt sockets and USB QC chargers.
