Titles are on the sticker with a caricature of a mosquito. Later on in life this aircraft was sold to Australia and crashed on take-off from Oakland CA. on 7 Mar 93. It was en route to Honolulu on its delivery flight. The probable cause given in the NTSB report was "A premature lift off and inadvertent stall by the pilot-in-command. Contributing to the accident was insufficient available aircraft performance data after a ferry tank installation and both pilot's lack of total experience in the airplane."
