What do you think of the ES-P? pretty good speed and 1/5 the insurance cost. The ES-P is cool, maybe Bryan will chime in; pretty sure he hates me though. It's 50kts slower. I'm going liability only so insurance issues is not a factor. I really love this airplane. It's pretty much as good as gets for a piston single. Easy to fly, sexy, good range, fast, good payload.

Air conditioning going in later this month I've been flying unpressurized as the bleed air is disgustingly hot on this airplane

If it's a standard build, it already has a third intercooler for the pressurization bleed air. My ES-P's air isn't bad once the OAT gets cooler. Make sure the mixer box is really closing off the non-inter-cooled supply.
But mine is air conditioned...it really is required, practically speaking IMHO

Getting them to run cool LOP isn't a problem. Just slower.
