Folks,
The first PA28 I flew (and the first in UK, I think, G-ARSY --- easy to remember rego.) was a -150. There is a common STC engine mod. to increase the nominal (very nominal) HP to 160hp.
Had a dead cut on T/O at YSBK in a -235 many moons ago. Off 29, had enough height going past the old RACNSW to "turn back" (sort of) and land on the 05 grass.
Ahhhhhh!! the good old days.
Tootle pip!!
