Grossly dissimilar aircraft!
The 140 is firewalled, the 170 is happy, the Tiger is in slow cruise,
and the Bo is just hanging on (well, not quite that bad :-)).
Sounds sporting!
Not too bad - I wouldn't really want to do it on a long cross country
(we were only going 35nm or so), but the Bonanza is very capable of slow
flight. It has very effective Fowler flaps, and using some kept the
plane flying without the nose sticking way up in the air. We were doing
about 90 knots.
