I am new to BeechTalk and new to airplane ownership. In fact I just purchased a 1971 Duke A60 and I have still not done my Multi check ride. But as you can imagine I am very excited to one day fly my Duke without an instructor. I hope to get plenty of good advice here. So feel free to chime in anytime you have helpful comments.
