Patty of course flies a bevy of mounts. Her personal plane is an
Extra 300S. It's got a Lycoming modified to 350hp and a roll rate of
420 degrees/sec.
Patty works out constantly and is probably in the same shape as an
Olympic athlete. She's also flying Jim Beasley's Mustangs.
...and she's pretty too!!! :-))



You'd have to be in good shape for that. I've been doing a bit in
anticipation of the arrival of the Citabria (now pushed back yet
another month because of the crap Wx in PA) Just watching those red
bull guys gives me a hedache.

We have several Red Bull Pilots in the workgroup. I'm with you. These
guys are redefining flying as we knew it.
What are they doing to the Citabria..fabric or engine work or both?
The weather's beginning to break in Pa. if that helps any.

Yeah, the guy doing it wasn't able for the weather, he's very old. And
you can't paint in sub zero temps.
It's a complete rebuild. I didn't have time to do it so I got a friend
who owns an airport to do it for me. It'll be a virtually new airplane
when it's done. It's a KCAB so it will be a good sport machine.
Actually, I have a query for you. My understanding is that the aerobatic
category requires a load of +5/-3 and my memeory of the airplane is that
is what it was rated for, but I just bought a flight manual for it that
says +5 and -2, but it says the airplane is aerobatic. The new ones seem
to be the same, so presumably it was always that way. Any idea?
