Tried out the Ryan Navion from the SOH team, in some scary weather. Climbed out until I was over Pukaki, then doubled back, climbing all the way. Then had to lose all that height to get under the cloudbase and find my way in to Haast.
The Navion is a nice little plane. It needs to be flown, though - one can't just sit there quaffing a glass or two of coolant and looking out the window, as if it was a C152
