Other than the fuel flow it is the perfect plane. I have more fun with it and it makes everybody smile. We are going to KEFD on the 11th of MAY for an airshow.
Seeing 14.6 flow on my 701 would give me a heart attack. lol
Scott, it is still on hell of an airplane and I would surely love to fly her!
She will fly at VNE all day long but the fuel burn is very high at low altitude. I have had a hard time getting in the slow speed grove with this plane so I usually touch down at 40 mph. I know it will go significantly slower on the back side of the power curve but I have not needed to go their because of the reversible prop we can stop in 100 ft. after touch down.

How fast and how slow have you had her?

Thanks I love it too. It is not as fast as it sounds.
