The yokes on 196M were replaced before I acquired her with the Bonanza yokes per the 337. The autopilot is a Century III. So the 2000 install required you to turn the yokes upside down??

Meyers has less wing area (at least I think it does), but engine and airframe configuration are very similar. For sure see his weight limitations. At gross the Meyers will sink unless you have power in and the flare happens quickly.
