Steve, believe it or not I'm making arrangements to fly to CA and get  
some stick time on a CZ MK-IV with 6 cil. Subaru. it will be in  
couple of weeks. The owner is Keith Spreuer and he was kind to offer  
it. I'll let you know how it works out with the two blades.
  I went to the airport this evening. The air was VERY humid. On top  
I had forgotten my master on last night, and the batteries were low.  
Good excuse to go home and watch TV. Another day down the tube.
