     Many, many years ago I had thoughts of owning my own airplane, and I had 
come up with:

1.   PA-18 Super Cub
2.   Full greenhouse cabin
3.   Manual flaps
4.   Balloon tyres
5.   150HP Lycoming
6.   Variable pitch prop
7.   Dual VHF Com/Nav radios
8.   LF/MF ADF receiver
9.   Suction-operated backup horizon, etc.
