AggieDave 6 #2 June 7, 2005 I like turbines more then pistons, but I do have a goodly number of jumps out of a nice 182 piston AC.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Last time I was up at Elderslie, they'd promised us two piston Cessnas so we could do formation Starcrests. Unfortunately it didn't come off. That would've made the pistons worthwhile!

AggieDave 6 #17 June 7, 2005 Quote So? 40 minutes of neeeeeaaaaaaaa to get to 10k? No thanks! That sucks, you must jump some ragged out 182s. Gypsy (the name of our 182) at Aggieland averages 20 minutes to 11k, that's keeping it all in the green and not being stupid with the engine. I've also been in 182s that took 45 minutes to get to 10k, those are the planes where you've got to wonder about the condition of the engine.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."
