Ken MontoureGlad to hear we are all falling at roughly the same rate!!!!!For a while I thought I had discovered some new quirk of the Pietenpols'flight characteristics. I had experienced this "glide ratio" and duringthe "maneuver" had decided to name the new aerobatic maneuver---"THEFALLING STONE'But, never the less, every ascent is exciting and every return toearth, fills me with an Adrenelin Rush!Just remember----Altitude and Airspeed.________________________________________________________________________________
