Being a pilot of much less experience, it just looked like an
interesting thing to see comments on some of the points the pilot
makes.. I came across this 2005 article while just wandering about on

I flew my Discus out of Bergseth a time or two. Even gave some

Hummm, let's see the Maneuvering speed on the trusty sail pig, ( too

32 mph over Maneuvering speed is a mite fast? What's Vne?
