Default Maydays this weekend

The SX-300 has a great glide ratio -- considerably more than that
barndoor Piper! It just gets its best glide around 120 kt.


When I flew with Harry he pointed out a point on the ground that I
thought was quite close, and told me that if we lost the engine we
would NOT be able to make it to that point.

Those sleek, itty-bitty wings sure don't look like they'd carry you far
without power!
