I flew n6036x and put 32 hours on it immediately following my ppl. I found it at an auction in a tiny town in BFe. Took about 5k to ensure airworthiness. Loved the plane, didn't have adsb and was 100% stock panel. You can't put gfc500 in it. Honestly if it was able I'd still be flying it. The wood wings never scared me. Now that I have 350 hours on my C with modern panel. I loved the A. It needs a hanger and you need someone with some knowledge of fabric and wood. I even had a spare wing to go with mine. Last I knew a&p had it in NC. Dunno what happened to it.

Congrats! I started in an A. Your wood wings need to stay out of the weather. Learn your POH. Don't force it to the ground and let it stop flying. Watch your tail hinges. When your preflight lift up on the tail a little and see if there's any play. Make sure your landing gear is secure,my A didn't have the thumb button. Just the collar there slides down. Good luck I loved mine!
