I’m putting my beloved bird up for sale. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180499674074 She’s been maintained by Joey Cole at Cole Aviation since I purchased her in 2005. I spoke with Jimmy Garrison about the plane, and while he’s only seen pictures, he thought I had it priced fairly at the “buy it now” price. If she doesn’t sell, I’ll list next in Trade-A-Plane, so please spread the word. Mark Travis 404-915-3882

I've developed a technique that I discovered quite by accident. If I've been given a slam dunk, or I've been asked to keep my speed up, I just wait until I get to the point where I need to slow down and go downhill, and I roll in full nose up trim, and keep a level attitude by applying progressively more pressure on the yoke to keep from gaining altitude. Granted, if I ever loose control of the yoke, I risk gaining altitude, and I do risk getting a cramp in my arm from the forward yoke pressure, but I can't argue with the results. I don't know if it's the increase tail plane incidence or what, but I slow down quickly, then I can throw out the gear, then the flaps, and can land in 500 feet. Mark
