That may be, but you have an impaired ability to detect humor in comments
by others.


You're wrong about that too.

Duane Cole didn't have an IFR equipped Taylorcraft, yet he never missed
an airshow because of weather.

I bet he scud run quite a bit.

I used to have a Cessna 140. It was SLOW. Scud running in a slow
aircraft can be an acceptable risk so long as you have a planned out.
Amongst owners of ancient, slow aeroplanes, scud running is routine.

The Taylorcraft is an ancient, slow machine. I know very well because I
just bought into an Auster (which is a Taylorcraft derivative).

However, I *never* did scud runs in the Bonanza because it was far too
risky - to fly slowly, forward visibility would be appalling (and the
engine would get too hot too - flaps down, slow flight requires a fair
bit of power). So I'd go IFR in the Bonanza or simply cancel if the IFR
weather was unsuitable.
