Default Flying an air racer...

It sounds sweet!

Actually, the way my friend has his tricked out, with a 3-axis
autopilot slaved to a Garmin 530, it's a pretty good instrument plane.

It's a helluva an airplane. I'd love to be able to fly one for fun
once in a while -- but I think it would probably kill you quickly, if
you didn't take it more seriously than that. It's a serious plane.
