At 7:29pm on September 6th, 2007, Duane Barto said…: Hey Thanks Spencer! My plane is a predisessor of the Dakota with 540 cubic inch engine that burns 16 gallons of avgas per hour. You are right it is hot in there and also expensive to fly when I just want to get out and see the seanery. I am a 300 pound pilot would the new P&M GT 450 work for someone as heavy as me? Thanks from Duane.

Switched to Trikes in 2001 and never ever ever looked back. The days of $150.00 hamburger runs in the hot cabin turned into flights of fantasy with the wind in my face. Try it once and you won't ever look back I'm sure!! ;)

At 11:51pm on September 5th, 2007, Duane Barto said…: I fly this Piper for traveling at 150 MPH. But one of these days I would like to have a trike for local flights along the beach or for cooling off after work.
