N-71317 Gets an Annual

Got the first annual on N-71317 done at her temporary home in the NE.  Had to go to Canton (CKAC) to Castle Aviation to get it done.  Not quite the attention I got at Mesa, CO at Monument Aircraft, but a good job, none-the-less.

I'm loving the PPonk conversion engine (http://www.pponk.com/HTML%20PAGES/engine_overview.html) that Dana installed at overhaul. The extra power was really helpful in the mountains, climbing to Victor Airways altitudes when headed east.  

I'm temporarily located near Pittsburgh, so here it's useful to arrive a little early on a long flight... and if you really want to burn a little more fuel, it's *really* helpful at that. ;-)
