I have purchased two "Elite Series" 58P Barons from Dale . They were two of the finest examples of P-Barons in the country. The paint was exquisite, without a raised edge on any of the stripes or decals. The butterscotch leather was comparable to what is used in a fine luxery motor car - Mercedes or Audi. The avionics packages were state-of-the-art, with EFIS, SANDEL, GARMIN 530 AND 430s, and AVIDYNE modules.

The people at Elite were great to deal with and they paid attention to the special requests of the owner such as placards, replacement screws and door seals. The ultimate beauty was in the details. Brilliant whites, glowing stripes and luminescent trim. The carpet was fitted exactly to the contours of the floorboards and the trim to the fuselage interior. No gaps, spaces or bent up corners.

My confidence in Elite was confirmed as I parked at various IBOs subsequent to completion of the work. I got "thumbs up" and compliments on the paint and interior everywhere I went. Other owners asked, "Who did your paint? It looks great." My answer was simply "Elite Air Center, Hawley, Minnesota. You ought to give 'em a call.

I took great pride in my aircraft when they were completed. Sometimes it just pays to get the best!"
