R. Wubben
I've just bought a '62 Cessna 172 with the Horton STOL kit and madras
droop tips and have a question:
My dad took it up for the first time (it's in WI, I'm in NC) and was
curious about if these modifications change the "V" speeds in any
significant way...? Apparantly there is no change in the POH...

and then get instruction. The helicopter just flew in circles a bit...

light bulbs with them? Do you have to be an A&P to change them? Do

Fast Safe Plane by
Charles Talleyrand
I've always dreamed about buying a Citation or even a Malibu (after winning the lottery, of course). However it's obvious to me
