well ..I think flying IFR in a single engine with low power and minimal ice protection is a bit risky in weather ..IMHO although 17 000hrs later give me perspective.

Can't be accurately measured
Turns out, I don't.
That was two years ago, and while I did equip the Mousketeer as an IFR trainer, I have since sold it and gone back to renting.
Much respect to you as a high hour pilot, I have somewhere around 2% of those hours.
In talking with many, much more experienced pilots like yourself, I decided that single engine IFR was not for me. Furthermore, I decided that what I really enjoy is flying in solid VMC in an airplane that someone else takes care of. So I sold the plane, bought this:
and went back to renting.
I got my complex endorsement so that I could rent something a little faster, and now I fly nicer planes for less money than it costs to own.

I hope it wasn't me that drove you away. If it was, I'm sorry.
Yes, I have put up a number of antagonistic and abrasive posts, but generally they're in response to someone else's nastiness. Typically, I show someone as much respect as they show others.
I'll try to play nice....

Yup, I was never too enthused about flying over to the Bahamas from Florida in a single engine. Too much water
