Actually yeah, now I see that +9 -6... +9G -6G... Some aerobatics plane then eh. Wondered what that was. Also figured it should make more RPM anyway to do that sort of power.

Plane has a Lycoming IO-540-T4B5 or something similar? Don't narrow it down much though... sigh. A little boy waits.

you're gonna be a long time flying before you can afford a boss hoss! instructor at CTC is on $17K. 1st officer at Eagle Air on $38k. compare that to an aircraft engineer on $75k......

and you'd be zk MAD not to pick up what it is if you're a plane spotter.....

A bit shy of hp per cubic inch - but I guess the important thing is longevity and RELIABILITY - can't afford 'roadside stops' up there eh?
