MarkI have bad news for you - You will get passed by 150's in a Piet. I sometimesfly with a friend, he in his Cub with an A-65. We match speed pretty closely. Once in a while I fly race track patterns at 700 ft over some of the local freeways.It's amazing how traffic slows down. Dick N. Everyone talks about how slow a Piet is, but I used to get passed in 150s allthe time by school busses on the ground. Man was that embarassing lol Mark________________________________________________________________________________Date: Fri, 10 Feb 2006 10:31:00 -0500
