If you want to go fast, you’re going to burn more fuel and it’s going to cost you more, a lot more the faster you want to go. It is what it is. Ha - true words. And for the next level, I was flying this unit tonight thinking “here’s what 350 HP gets you at FL270.” 30 GPH per side but the cabin and baggage are relatively yuge …

Finally had to land and take crew car to to Walmart for warming pads to stuff in our gloves and shoes. Despite that he's remained good friends with me. You guys are crazy! I’ve never done anything like that. Well this week anyway … a couple months ago I had to remove my Shrike from Safford, AZ where some shop worked on it for 4 years. Had so many squawks before I got the gear up that I flew it to Idaho to get fixed right with someone trustworthy. I was so mad I even left my suitcase behind. So when I realized the heater wouldn’t work, I started wrapping every extra pc of clothing I had around myself. That amounted to 2 pairs of boxers around my ankles and a tshirt for a hat. It took 45 minutes and 2 cups of coffee to stop the uncontrollable shivering that started after I turned off the runway. At least you landed and got the heaters!

Unser was soon taxiing toward the active runway in an airplane he had never flown before. He took off and made his first landing in Illinois ...https://www.planeandpilotmag.com/article/racing-bobby-unser/

Attachment: IMG_5486.jpeg One of the great things about Aerostars is that they have a lot of common parts, like the elevator that's interchangeable from left to right. Might be the same with the aileron? Ted Smith was a clever man.

Rudder trim and elevator trim motors are the same. Very smart idea!
