I was going to write "in all my PA18/25/28/32/38 and C150/152/172/180/182/185/206/210 flying, I have never thought "now this one has laminar flow aerofoil so I'll approach fast and allow the
natural drag characteristics of the aerofoil to slow me down as I come over the fence"".

and then the penny finally dropped ......

This is a wind-up!

No one could actually believe this crap.

Man, you got us good!
