Scott, My annual is due next month and I will probably be undergoing the same exercise. I have removed wheel pants, a non-working audio panel, a nav/com and installed a new nav/com. Hopefully I will pick up a few pounds usefull load as well. I've put over 60 hours on my M10 since purchasing in August. Hope to be ready for my checkride before summer.
