Help me design a rental airplane.

Hi everyone, I am posting in this forum because so many pilots read and post here.

I am tired of retirement so am going to get involved in aviation again, it is my opinion that there is a gap between the PPL and the CPL where one could offer a service that would not only make it less costly for the young ones to get their commercial license but they could also learn more through monitoring.

I am going to start with two home built airplanes, a PA 11 clone with a 108 h.p. engine and a basic mechanical instrument panel with a Alfa Systems AOA in it . That will be the machine I will use for training pilots to fly conventional gear and also for rental.

My other airplane will be a Thatcher CX4.

This one will have a more modern instrument panel, at this time I think the Dynon D10A will be my choice with an Anywheremap GPS for navigation.

Dynon Avionics

Anywhere Map - Aviation GPS Navigation App for iPad and Android

So.....

What suggestions do all you people have to help me design the best rental airplane?
