I was flying along in my trusty 601 XL and what did I spy? This little lost 750 way up in the clouds. Someone should talk to this guy. He could get lost flying way up there :).

Yup, them 701/750/801 guys get nose bleed at 500; disoriented at 1,500; and total blackout at 2,500.  A shame really. 

Now a Jabiru powered 601XL pilot has been known to make it all the way up to 18,000 where I understand he ran into a large pane of glass, put there for his protection by the FAA.

Hey, I know you guys get a nose bleed on any altitude over 500 AGL!

Only 2 miles from home you say?  I suppose next you will claim you were only 1,500 AGL and those were low clouds.  Likely story..
