But I'm not going to be flitting off to do anything in a hurry :-) Have never been to the Mid West, but your not selling it very well ;-) We have a place called Boston in Lincs over here, its a bit like that, really really flat and cabbages for as far as the eye can see...! Now a quick question, is there much difference in flying a piper 4 seat, rather than a Cessna 2 seat? I have a willing soul who would love to come up for a ride, and it would be a good excuse to have another lesson, but I wouldn't want to try learning in two very different planes at once, that would just be confusing. Many thanks I'm learning in the UK. Took a trial lesson in a cessna and also a trial in a piper 4 seater. I am learning in a Piper. It felt nicer to fly in having had an hour in each. Disadvantage is it costs more to learn in a Piper. |

Walk out side. 15 Seconds Say, "That's Corn." 2 Seconds Jimmy I think you've scheduled in 9+ extra minutes. You forgot about having to bundle up for the winter weather. |

Now a quick question, is there much difference in flying a piper 4 seat, rather than a Cessna 2 seat? Yes. The Piper is heavier and low wing. That makes it less likely to bounce around when the air is a bit unstable. It takes longer to get it off the ground. It has a tendency to "float" a little when landing. It's a bit heavier on the controls. It's faster. The low wing makes it a poor sightseeing platform. On the other hand, you can see in the direction you're turning, so the runway stays in sight while you come in to land. There are a few other differences, but they don't make any difference at this stage of your training. George Patterson Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor. It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him. |

![]() "N93332" wrote And how would you get to Iowa, let alone Iowa City without seeing corn??? Walk around. 30 seconds Say, "Them's beans" 2 seconds Now you have just tripled your tour time in Iowa... MUCH more time than that! Why, you could drive for hours, to see much more than the corn! g -- Jim in NC |
