Everbody should read the first post in this string and then the one before this. Like a game of telephone at a 6th grade party. A mutitude of subjects along with some friendly Mugging.

I live it.

Tim

yes,
But it's friendly mugging more like teasing than mugging.

900 fpm on a hot day with full fuel, plus camping gear, plus survival gear, with a cruise prop? Why the hell have I waisted all this time looking at Maule's, 180's and big engine 170's???

I camp light. Only an 80lb baggage capacity after all, and half fuel only gets me 120 miles with reserve.

And of course I only date skinny women, me and fuel only leaves 125lbs for pax, subtract another 20lbs for survival gear and tool kit and it's really only a solo cross country plane.

So if my VSI proves to be accurate can I call it an M-150 Rocket Ship?

Nope, but you can put some "mauleish" stickers on your wing tips
