hmmm...... well, without the aid of a bath, i'd say......
1. Tailwheel
2. Stick
3. Good cruise 150kts+
4. Slow approach & STOL for those farm strips
5. Big strong u/c with big tough macho wheels for above.
6. Quiet in the cruise so I can listen to some nice music
7. Open air option
8. Floats that just clip on (or maybe an amphibian). would have been useful last winter)
9. Maintenance free (dang those engineers bills).
10. Nice quiet engine (no complaints) with a good power to weight ratio (getoffthegroundand climbkwik).
11. Range = bladder endurance & coffee addiction. Or inside toilet/coffeemaker.
12. Good forward visibility.
