Re: Piper Pawnee

Personally, I find it difficult to accept struts on the upper wing surface. The intersection acts like a big speed brake, and the effect is very noticeable

Anybody have time in a Pawnee Brave? It didn't have the struts did it?

Re: Piper Pawnee

Wow I just go a call telling me I was the proud new owner of a 260 HP Pawnee :shock: I guess we need to be careful what we wish for. I feel a trip to Wups around the corner.

Will you guys quit coming up with these silly ideas, I am having a tough time keeping up

Congratulatinos! that should be a cool ride.

Not to sidetrack the thread...but along the same lines a 230-300 Cessna Agwagon makes a pretty neat "fun" plane too.

Wow, congrats again. Have a BLAST with that rocket ship! As mentioned in this thread, you could turn that into the ultimate back country escape machine or air camper. A super cub wing with 260HP will allow you to embarrass a LOT of people at a STOL contest!
