Flown smaller and slower than that IMC! you get used to it..

Bertie
Now what would that be?? A Tri-Pacer?

Not much slower that's IMC-capable than a 172 with a whopping 105 TAS.

Ferrying one. Did a bunch of light singles at one time. Depending on what
you call IMC, I've done it norod in needle ball and airspeed aripalnes as
wel, buto only for short trips outside controlled airspace, but in the
system, I've done it in a 150/

Not too many places left outside of radar coverage, these days.

Well, i didn't say it was lately, and radar coverage hasn't got anything to
do with it anyway...
Oh, and there are plenty of places with no radar!

I'm on the east coast. My only SEL foray west was to PHX and back in
the A36. We had coverage the entire route, but stayed Victor airways
through the passes.
