Poteroo, Did you ever get to pole Arnold's 150 horse C150 tail dragger?. that was the scariest buggy I ever sat my shapely behind in.
150's were just not meant to go that fast. the tops of the doors were sucked out of the frame at cruise. sure did a fine job of scaring sheep into a mob though.
I reckon that 170 of yours was the prettiest airplane I ever saw or sat in (yeah, I snuck a sit when it was in Collingridges hangar.
), very disappointed I never got to fly it.
