The hardest part (on pistons) is finding one with the minimum equipment. There weren't many Robbos with a full panel, but with newer aircraft having some form of glass panel that is less of a problem.
Spent thirty hours under the hood in a 44. It had all the basics, HSI, AI, TC, VOR, and a Garmin 430. We had two if them, but that was about fifteen years ago. Nowadays, the newer Cadets have a pretty nice glass setup...if your into playing the most boring video game eever made?
Flown a couple similarly equiped 22's, but I wouldn't want to try one while under the hood,...too shaky for my stomach.
