"This is like pulling teeth"
dogged persistence there Chuck . . . . .. . a dentist I know with a C170
says that's all he can afford to run .. . . blames his hand to mouth existence
p.s. . . . you know your hypothetical match is just that and will never be put to the test. . .. . . . still, if someone did line it up and opened a book . .. I'd put money on your man proving the point.
if the trial were run with a 182 and a one-eighty . . now that would separate
the men from the boys . . .. . x/w minimum 20 kts
p.p.s. ,. .. interesting .. init. .. that a Dak in a big x/w is no where near as challenging as a one-eighty

"Oh and by the way you own both airplanes and they have no hull insurance."
That of course is the ultimate test as to confidence, sincerity and . . . .. and bloody mindedness

Owned a Blanton Wichawk once. First ten landings were exciting . . and exiting too .. . . as she wanted to segue rapidly 90 degrees to the right every time the tail came down..... until it was discovered some fool had strung the tailwheel cables wrong way round.
