Yep, that's right...working on getting my pilots licence...I'll tell you it's ****ing incredible!!!
But holy shit there is a lot more too it than I expected...you need to really be on your game with watching
the instruments as well as watching the sky...cause other planes in the distance that look far away come up on you in the
blink of an eye...I was absolutely shocked when I flew head on past my first plane

Cruise speed for this plane is 125 mph but it'll do 150 mph no problem
it has a stall speed of about 32 MPH and a climb rate of about 1200 feet/min

I was up on saturday flying around 2000 feet, by law you can't fly under 1000 feet over a subdivision or any
house for that matter...but over the lake...all bets are off muhahahhahah...it's fun chasing boats up the lake
